A positive read that encourages spiritual relationship with God. Kevin King is passionate about his subject. His enthusiasm graces this book like a refreshing breeze. This book makes me think of a Bible book study. It contains many insights into the Shunamite woman and her relationship with King Solomon as it is depicted in the story found in the Old Testament book, Song of Songs. King describes the Shunamite woman’s insecurities, emotions, and the dynamics between the characters in the story. He writes their love story in conjunction with a second love story, a person’s relationship with Jesus Christ and the God-head. Transformed by Love reads like a teacher teaching an important lesson to a student. The message to be gained is this–that one can be transformed by love, the love of Jesus, a process that occurs over time and through circumstances. The awareness of true love begins a process of change which transforms the person’s perception of self. I particularly enjoyed the depiction of Jesus and His work in His chosen, beloved, children. The only difficulty I found with this book is that the text reads somewhat awkwardly because it jumps between three different “thought” voices–although this doesn’t detract from the message of the book. Transformed by Love is a book you will enjoy reading.
