THE SONG by CHRIS FABRY

THE SONG by CHRIS FABRY is a love story based on biblical values with echoes of the Song of Solomon running through it. The characters are very real and their struggles are well portrayed and very relevant in today's world, where alcohol, drugs and illicit sex are some of the tools Satan uses to break up marriages.
There is a contrast between Shepherd Jordan's vineyard and the wines he produces, and the wild parties Jed gets involved in when he is on the music circuit, where alcohol and drugs are horribly abused.
Jed King's songs come from the heart. In the beginning he has a heart after God, but he changes. There are many factors leading to this, the main one being that he is hardly ever home with his family, and he and Rose grow apart.
Rose is a country girl with solid morals and a desire to live for the Lord. The first time she meets Jed he sings The Song, which he feels the Lord gave him, and she is strongly drawn to him. Later on when The Song and Jed become famous, he doesn't like being forced to sing it as it reminds him of when it was special to them.
We see how easy it is for the sins of the father to be passed down to the son, and how Jed's father warned him to stay close to the Lord and to his family.
The importance of marriage and family life is strongly brought out in this book. It is full of relevant scriptures and biblical truth and we can all learn so much about life from this author. He writes so well that we feel what the characters are feeling. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
