Singers of the New Song is George Maloney at his fresh and insightful best. Skillfully blending scripture and church teaching the has written a book not only about God's love for us as revealed by Jesus Christ, but one that develops the insight that God wants, needs and passionately desires our love as individuals.
Literally a collection of love poems, the famed Song of Songs of the Old Testament has been traditionally interpreted as describing God's passionate love for humans, individually and collectively. In his beautiful description of the bridal mysticism of the Song of Songs, George Maloney asks if we truly believe that God loves us like that-passionately even unto death-as his revelation tells us.
Each verse of the Song becomes a starting point for profitable meditation and prayer, destined to further spiritual understanding and growth toward loving service. Maloney prayerfully instructs the reader about the mystical union with Christ brought about through ascetical practices and the development of Christ-like virtues. "This is a book," he says. "to aid persons already accustomed to a more contemplative style of prayer, to pray out the biblical Song of Songs”.
