Life Changing, Freeing, Spiritually and Physically Empowering

A must for christian couples. The messages in this book are like marriage glue, fun, spiritually sound and empowering. This book takes your verse by verse through the Song of Solomon. I have learned God's ways after 20 years of marriage and they are so wonderful. It has renewed my first love for God and my husband. My marriage is sweeter then ever before. Have fun reading it together.

Another Good Book

Linda Dillow has done it again. I am so happy that she is still willing to talk to couples about issues that most Christians find hard to talk about. We need to be in the world, but not of it, and Linda helps us understand that God has created sex for married couples and we need to know what is Godly and what is worldly.

Intimacy Ignited

Wonderful information by my favorite Christian author, Linda Dillow. She and her husband, along with another couple, have written a book about sex within marriage based on the book of Song of Solomon from the Bible. Their wisdom and perspective from couples to couples is a wonderful tool in strengthen your relationship with God in all areas of your life. It is written in an easy to follow format going through all the scripture in the Song. My husband and I never realized the Bible had such wonderful insight on sex. We read it together and have enjoyed learning more about how God intends for us to follow his ways.

Many waters cannot quench love

Intimacy Ignited is a wonderfully in-depth walk through the entire Song of Solomon and how it applies to modern couple's physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy. Though this is a practical guide to married life, it is not a technical manual for intimate encounters. The book is solidly Biblically based and quite scholarly as well. For instance, it explains the ancient Near-East poetical imagery used in the Song and what it means to modern readers... it will SURPRISE you! Through various anecdotes throughout the book the reader gets to see other couple's struggles and joys and hopefully learn how to apply them to their own marriage. It is hard hitting and encompassing, and very little is not discussed. My wife and I used this book as a Bible study and found the level of intimacy and joy in our marriage increased with the added knowledge of what God originally intended and wants a man and wife to experience in the safety and security of the bonds of marriage. We would definitely recommend this book to married couples, but not to pre-married ones. Not that it would be "bad" to read before marriage, but the book can be rather stimulating and some of the topics may not make sense outside of the married mind. We, however, strongly recommend Intended for Pleasure by Wheat and Wheat for engaged couples as well as Intimate Issues by Dillow and Pintus for the engaged or married woman.

THE BEST CHRISTIAN SEX BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!A++++

EVERY engaged couple should read this!!! My husband and I have been married 11 years and all I can say is "WOW"!!!!. The title makes it seem like it's for couples who need intimacy ignited (that too) but it's more about God's intention for Sex through the Song of Solomon and the way He intented it to be. It showed me many good and interesting things. But one of the things that stuck out the most was how Solomon always pleased his wife first and how he was a servent lover toward Tizrah (his wife), and how God loves women so much that he gave us the Song of Solomon to see that we women are uniquely designed and not crazy! There is also a lot of things that wives can learn that will help enhance intimacy with their husbands as well. This is a must read for both husband and wives-not just for women. My husband(who is not a reader)enjoyed this book as well and learned from it. My daughter is only ten, and I plan to keep this book in my closet for however many years until she is ready for marraige. I will definitely pass this onto her as well as buy it for wedding shower gifts. It is very well written and worth buying!!!
