The single issue by Al Hsu

A book how Christians are to view and handle singleness. Full of good and solid Christian values, it is useful to all single people and the churches they belong to.

It is only in the chaper on 'Rethinking Romance' that mr Hsu mixes up lust and falling in love. While lust is a particular temptation for people in love, it is not the motivation for it; it is an irresistible force, sometimes damaging, sometimes beautiful. It might be avoided or slowed down, it might end or dissipate, but it cannot be stopped.

While this chapter says a lot about romance, and how unrealistic it is, and its alternatives, there is not a single reference in it to Song of Songs.

I recommend it to any Christians who find themselves unattached. Non-Christians will probably not understand much, but might get a feeling for the significance Christians attach to marriage.
