Fire and Song offers an eye-opening glimpse into a God-centered approach to marriage through a unique, story-based study of the Biblical book, Song of Songs.

A lukewarm marriage is put to the test when fire destroys Max and Emily's home. An unexpected treasure revealed within the rubble sends the couple on a journey into romance, passion, and the transforming power of God's love.

Fire and Song brings the scriptures to life in compelling story form, then equips readers to study Song of Songs for their own benefit through visually rich study notes.

Locked inside three-thousand-year-old Hebrew poetry is the ultimate marriage book, Song of Songs. This book already rests on the nightstand of countless Christian husbands and wives who do not know the treasure they possess. Fire and Song is first and foremost a story, so long before readers arrive at the challenges posed by ancient Hebrew poetry, they are already captivated by a love that is breathtaking in its beauty and awe-inspiring in its power to transform.

Christian couples will rediscover the beauty and power of God's love embodied in love between husband and wife, become filled with awe at the depth and power of romance as He designed it, and fall in love, not just with their spouse, but with the Creator.
