Come With Me From Lebanon
A Study of The Song of Solomon
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
The Song is Messianic prophecy presented in poetic form. Its story line revolves about a love affair in which King Solomon and a Shepherd (Messiah) contend for the heart and soul of a vineyard keeper named Peaceful. This heroine pursues elusive peace in her home town of Jerusalem (city of peace), where no peace is to be found under proud Solomon’s reign. She is won over by the Shepherd: the Lord is her Shepherd and soon-coming Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords and King of kings. The Shepherd wins her heart and devotion, hands down! For those who have been troubled by conventional interpretation of The Song, this is bound to finally satisfy, even excite, as you discover why it is an indispensable, integral part of Judaic and Christian canon. Come With Me from Lebanon at last credibly explains how Solomon’s song meets God’s criteria that all Scripture is together “a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well that you heed” (2 Peter 1: 21). Believing Scripture alone is our final authority in matters of faith and practice (including interpretation) the author carefully and systematically employs other books of the Bible to define and illuminate the many key metaphorical words and expressions that inspire entertaining and easy-to- understand modern paraphrase of the principle characters’ thoughts and conversations.

About the Book
"Come With Me From Lebanon sheds exciting new light on the Song of Solomon. What has until now been considered but a beautiful portrayal of God's Love may also prove to be a 'sleeping giant' of end-time prophecy. This book is certain to stimulate a reappraisal of the Song." [Harold Duff, Bible Teacher/Christian Education, Conference Speaker, President, Christian Ministries, Inc.] "Sturtevant's alIegorical representation may well be right! I remember in seminary hearing this general point of view ... but not with the precision and carefulness of (the author's) manuscript.” [ Kenneth N. Taylor, Author, The Living Bible Paraphrase Chairman of the Board, Tyndale House Publishers]
