Thy Hidden Ones

Jessie Penn-Lewis admits that the Song of Songs 'is the last portion of the sacred Scriptures that I would personally have chosen to write upon.' However, forced by ill-health to rest from her exhausting preaching ministry, Penn-Lewis was drawn to Solomon s poetic book.'The Lord began to open up to me the Song of Songs as I had never seen it before, and for a month I wrote in the light of His face and in indescribable peace the message that flooded my soul with joy... I have not attempted a full exposition of the text, but have rather confined myself to tracing the inner heart-history of the soul that is brought into personal union with Christ.' This inspirational message continues to speak to a new generation of Christian believers.
