Understanding the Song of Solomon by Hudson Taylor revised and edited by M. E. Tewksbury. Scripture taken from the NIV. This book, designed to lead the seeking Bible reader into the presence of God, is one of the lasting legacies of Hudson Taylor. In the obvious power of the Holy Spirit, he has unveiled the deep secrets of true intimacy with Jesus in the simplest of language. The symbol and imagery of the Song of Songs is too often neglected or misunderstood. To those who knew Hudson Taylor, these pages are right out of his everyday life. Even more than his words, his walk with Jesus declared that he really understood intimacy with God. Some may reject this book as being too spiritual or impractical because it deals with true intimacy and actual fellowship with the unseen God of the universe. But the writer of these pages founded the China Inland Mission, now known as OMF International. He translated his vision into life-long service. This is really the goal of these few short chapters. They reveal an intimacy that comes from experience. They open a pathway through this little piece of God's Word that will lead you to the very heart of God.
