Książka luźna, nawet dobra, ale przewidywalna. Idealna do adnotacji i rysowania małych, zdenerwowanych ludzików. Miło się czytało, spokojnie... Wiele mądrości i prawdziwych, życiowych cytatów.

I loved Chris Fabry’s The Song so much more than I anticipated. This story transports the experience of Solomon, as well as his biblical writings of Song of Solomon and Lamentations, into a modern-day setting and explores his themes of love, faith and relationships. From the beginning, I really cared about the characters of Jed King and Rose Jordan and enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. But their journey isn’t an easy, happily-ever-after one. Though they have their share of joy and happiness, they also come to many points that are painful and frustrating to read. My heart broke for these characters and I found myself scrambling to remember how Solomon’s story ended, so I could best guess what would happen next. Overall, The Song is a beautiful story and I would definitely recommend it.

It's known that each book is a journey, but this one has been a wild journey full of surprises.
I was highly impressed to know that the film is based on the Song of Solomon, from the Bible. Personally, I never found much appeal in this book and so far it seemed a little irrelevant for me, however The song made me realize that there's more than verses and rhymes in the words of Solomon, and they can teach us about the love that God designed.
The main theme of this novel is love, but also about the music industry and all the surrounding environment. This story provokes many emotions and it's almost impossible to read just a few pages because the author describes the scenes in such detail that makes you dive into the world of the characters and make you feel like you are actually in Sharon.
From the characters there is much we can learn from both their successes and their mistakes; and to be honest, these different personalities provoked me a lot of different feelings -Shelby for example, who I almost hated- but also helped me to see different perspectives.
Because romance is in the air, there's a lot of the relationships between couples and what happens after marriage even when everything seems to be failing. So more than being just a novel, is an excellent book for those who want to see the real love and understand God's plans.
The narrative is sincere, honest and openly; and invites us to reflect.
Whether you're single or married this book will help you understand God's greatest gift to humanity: love.
I recieved a free eBook from NetGalley but this fact didn't influence the review.

This is so real
This is an awesome book!!! I cannot wait to see the movie. Being a divorcee to an individual, who worked with the entertainment business, it was a story that is honest and real.

This book was so good, although many parts were dark and hard to read. I could hardly put it down, I was so invested, and curious how the story would end. The author definitely didn’t sugar coat Jed’s struggles, which I felt made it more realistic. Recommended!

What a disappointment. Fabry can write better than this--I gave a full 4 stars to The Promise of Jesse Woods and I don't give 4 stars lightly or that easily. The plot and story felt like a B movie, and then, voila, in the middle were photos from a movie--this novel was written based on a movie. Even though I haven't seen the film, it was so very predictable, and, to be frank, the characters, most especially Jed King--were not deep or well developed. I won't give this one star, because there are some good things about the writing.
From now on, I am going to be more careful about which books of his I read. I was even more disappointed with a Christmas novella he wrote--that one got 1 star because it was such a drop in quality from the first book I read of his.

I’m not sure how to review this one. It isn’t like Fabry’s usual novels - I feel like it focused too deeply on the betrayal and not enough on the redemption afterwards. Is it worth the read? Probably.

This is a novel based on the film by Richard Ramsey. Complete with photos from the film, this large paperback book puts on paper the heart-changing story of The Song.
The SongI have not yet viewed the film, so remember that this review is focusing on the content and quality of the book alone. Before reading this fictional book, I watched the movie trailer. I knew I was in for a hard read. A heart-changing experience. But I went for it and could not put the book down! I read it in one afternoon and upon closing the book, wept. I cried for all the sins mankind is capable of. I cried because as I read the book I felt the emotions, I understood the anger and frustration and temptations. Most of all I marvelled at the healing, at God's mercy. Indeed, His mercies are new every morning!
This film and consequently the book are about a young man who is confident that he will not fall into the sins of his father who yielded to temptations and lived with the regret for the rest of his life. Aren't we all so confident, before we actually have to face sin?
This young man, Jedidiah King desires to follow in his father's legacy of musical talent. Seemingly overnight and definitely aided by his passionate love for Rose, Jed becomes famous. And ironically, the very song that Jed wrote inspired by his whole-hearted love for his bride and which makes him famous, begins to hinder their marriage as the musical career takes precedence in Jed's mind.
Watch as Jed and Rose's family grows while Jed's musical life flourishes as well. Follow Jed as he encounters and eventually gives into more and more temptation. Feel the heartache and tragedy as Rose and Jed feel their marriage crumbling.
This is by all means not my favourite topic of film or book, however I think it is crucial for couples to face the possible facts. Marriage is not without its problems. Mankind is not sinless. I think it important for all couples to talk about these things and pray together constantly that their marriage would stay pure. I appreciated how the book made the point that Rose was not entirely without fault herself. In allowing her motherhood to take over her life, she was not always the Rose Jed married. She let herself become consumed with being a good mommy and neglected being a doting wife.
However, the majority of sin in this book/film is about Jed and it is a hard journey he travels. See what God can do in people's lives....read this book/watch the film!
Before I close, I will add a few personal remarks. I don't love the literary quality of this book. It is like most books inspired by films- not incredibly well-written. That said, it is definitely an easy read which perhaps is good for husbands who are not accustomed to soaking up classics from the 1700s!
Secondly, this book is for adults! Do not let your children read this book or see the movie. I don't know how discreet the movie is since I have never seen it, but the book insinuates a lot.
Thirdly. I think the author didn't do an exceptional job portraying the joy of God's forgiveness in the book. As I know, movies are very visual and emotional so I'm sure it is presented beautifully in there. But in the book, I think the author did a better job with the tragic moments than the joyful moment of forgiveness at the end. Also, I am slightly confused about when Jed King was saved. I wish the creator of this masterpiece had made the redemption more obvious. The release from the power of sin was evident, but not so much the moment of salvation.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. Thank you!

*Book Description*
The song is a captivating book on The Song of Solomon as well as Ecclesiastes. It features Jed King after his stardom plagued father has passed on. Inheriting his father's love for music and writing song lyrics, Jed meets Rose and quickly pens a song...He had no idea it would launch him into stardom, quickly having him follow in his father's footsteps. Then a new temptation in the form of Shelby Bales and Jed must make a choice. Stay true to himself, his wife, and his morals or give into a tempting girl out for herself?
*What I liked*
I love how Chris depicted the book of Song of Solomon and how, even though it was sad, he was accurate and included verses even in song lyrics. Such a wonderful idea and now I need to watch the movie!
*What I didn't like*
Though there may be inappropriate parts in this book, I don't consider it to be too serious to hinder your view of the book.
*My Rating*
I give The Song.. five stars!
*Why my rating is what it is*
My rating is five stars because of a creative plot, in depth characters, and because every book is made better with a movie to compare it to, right?

Jed adores his father, a famous musician and the one who taught him to play the guitar. His father passes away and Jed falls in love with a beautiful woman, Rose. Later, he writes a song that catapults him into stardom. But he is not able to handle all the stress and nuances of fame and begins to fall. His fall and the story of his redemption are chronicled in this book.
I haven't read anything by this author and haven't seen the movie. I was very impressed with the writing style. The author was able to draw out intense emotions and show rather than tell the story. The reader is shown the direction the story is going from the very beginning which is a different style than the typical book where you don't know the outcome. But since the story is based loosely on Solomon then the reader will also know that there is a happy ending. I would not recommend this book for the younger audience, since it does contain references to sex, adultery, drugs, and alcohol. The author brought out insights into marriage and dealing with the stress of this world that makes the reader think about more than just the story. The first few pages of "The Song Couples Devotion" were included in the back. I think the book would be a great compliment to this book.

Chris Fabry is one of my favorite authors so when I saw this book, I knew I had to read it! This book was a movie first, which I thought was really interesting. Chris wrote this novel based on the motion picture screenplay by Richard Ramsey. The movie was released in 2014 but honestly I had never heard of it. It is available through Amazon Prime, so I am excited to watch it and plan on doing so with my husband.
This story was very realistic and although somewhat predictable, it was engaging from beginning to end. I could feel every emotion Rose went through and I was quite pleased with the ending. This novel gave me a real life perspective on what it would be like to be married to a man in the entertainment industry who travels frequently and is gone for long periods of time. I always thought it would be really cool to be a wife of a celebrity but it definitely holds its own set of challenges! This story is beautifully written and one I would highly recommend!
I also love how clever Chris is with the names in this book! Jed King was one of them and represents King Solomon.

I love Chris Fabry's books and the last one I read was Every Waking Moment which I thoroughly enjoyed.
This book is called The Song, I think it could be called The Song of Solomon as its so closely related to the bible chapters.
Love, temptation, redemption via God.
I read it from beginning to end, but it wasn't as I expected.
Others have loved it, so I am going to let you decide for yourself.

The song
This book was also a movie, I have not seen the movie yet but the book is very good. Jed wants a career in singing but doesn't end up like he wanted. Him and Rose get married soon after knowing each other and then he goes on the road. I received this book from the Book Club Network, had it for a while before reading it, I am glad I read it but sorry it took me so long. Definitely worth reading.

The message of this book is important to this culture. Too many people do not think about the consequences of their actions, just like the characters in this story, who find out that the consequences of some actions last for a very long time and change everything.

I loved the characters from the start and wondered about what would happen next while I wasn't reading. I loved this book!

First of all, The Song is not a romance. There's no real feeling of love because it's undercut by the misery the author brings with the heartbreaking storyline, one-dimensional characters and an ending that feels more like a HFN. It's a difficult story to read in the sense of having a redemptive arc, because there wasn't any "showing" of the work that Jed had done to redeem himself. His rehab stint was glossed over and even the pastor's talk with him was strained. I have to admit that I'm very tough on cheaters and it was apparent to me that Jed wasn't truly sorry. He's sorry he got caught. And he wouldn't have been caught if that pesky other woman wouldn't have shown up at his house to tell his wife and son who she was. Did Jed pitch a fit? No. Did he throw her out? No. He watches her go to her car and swallow more pills. I firmly believe that they'll end up hooking up somewhere down the road. That being said, the story starts out well. Jed King is a musician whose star is on the rise thanks to the love of his new wife. He met Rose at a wine festival and was immediately smitten with her. On their honeymoon, he wrote her a love song that was the impetus for his instant fame, but it's also the song that's the impetus for ruining his life. There is a lot about this story that is good, but not great. Most of the story is spent in sorrow, anger and sin. Jed's father was a rockstar who fell, over and over again, and it appears that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. There is little of Rose and Jed's love story that we are able to see or experience before he goes out on the road and loses himself to drugs, drink and infidelity. The majority of the story actually centers on and describes Jed's growing excitement of his edgy, wild, sexy bandmate who is bringing something into his life that Rose can't begin to give him. He is thrilled to have someone who "loves him" without his having to beg like he has to beg his wife for sex. She makes him feel things! And she's the one who gives him the drugs that start his addiction. Jed is written as a caricature of the horndog rock god and it makes him one dimensional. He yells at Rose that the worst thing he ever did was to marry her! How can he ever come back from something so evil. Spoiler: he can't and didn't. We learned nothing about his time in rehab, other than he was there. We learned nothing about how he grovels and begs Rose for another chance at marriage. He doesn't. The only thing the author did right regarding this couple is he didn't have Rose walk in on Jed and Shelby in the middle of sex. I am disappointed that the feel of the writing wasn't in the least bit romantic. Jed was unable to speak to her kindly, lovingly, with real emotion. By the end, he actually did something that I considered a grand gesture, but it was too little, much too late. I'm glad that Rose didn't welcome him back immediately because her body betrayed her, but, in the end, I couldn't believe in their happy ending.

Watch the movie, save your time.
I watched the movie first and really enjoyed it. Yes, if you know the story of Song of Solomon/Solomon’s life then nothing in this book/movie surprises you, but I felt the movie was very well done for a Christian production. (I also lived in Louisville for a time so I enjoyed some of the references.)
However, this book is literally from the screenplay. It’s been a while since I watched the movie, but I didn’t notice any new dialogue. No new characters. The character tags are redundant: “he said” “she said” “he smiled” “she whispered” etc., etc. The only thing new is the omniscient point of view, where we see “why” Jed says what he does.
Anyway, I read the audiobook and the voice actor did a decent job for the male voices. Pastor Bingham (?) was a little guppy-sounding, but still decent. For the female voices…oy vey!

When fame and fortune causes Jed to lose himself and his integrity. A story of sins of the father repeating itself in the son. Will he walk away from it all for the sake of his family and will his wife forgive his sins. I liked the scripture used and I would like to actually hear the songs written by the mc. I will have to look up to see if I can watch the movie. The story kept me turning pages, finishing in one day (I was on an 8 hour car trip so that helped).

A wonderful story of how redemption is possible. So many people call Christians hypocrites but they're just people too. They make mistakes, fall from grace, hurt others. This story is so heartbreakingly true of a lot of artists who have to be separated from their families for long periods of time to perform and be known. You won't want to put it down until you find out how it ends. Great read.

I bought this book in the bargain bin for $1. At the time, I didn't realize it was a book based on a movie. I have never seen or heard of the movie The Song until picking up this book. That being said, the book doesn't read like a movie script, it very much stands on its own. It deals with hard topics of betrayal, adultery, and addiction, while offering hope, forgiveness, and redemption.

An unexpected love story
A dedicated love can be broken by the evil one in a moment! You have to stand firm and stay in the Word. Temptation is hard to walk away from. Don’t put yourself in a position to lead you astray!

A story of redemption
Sadly, I think there are many well-known people who go through similar things. I praise God for His grace that allows us to start over again and live the life He wants us to live. Now I need to See the movie!

Difficult story
Tough but true to life tale of rock star who goes off the deep end & then is restored to God & his family. Chris Fabry is one of my fav. Authors but this isn't his best, though it was not his story originally. His typically are deeper, more complex characters.

Follow the life of a singer on the road. Jed has been scarred by his parents' lives and does not intend to follow their path. When he writes a hit song, he faces temptations he hadn't planned on. Parts of the book were difficult for me to read but God wins!

The Song
A very good story about love and family and forgiveness of sons and others and faith in God and trusting in his word
