Union and Communion

This little book is the distillation of the life and heart of Hudson Taylor. With Taylor's famous dedication to Christ and unflagging relationship with Him, even through the darkest heart of China – it is not a surprise that this book is an exposition on the Song of Solomon. This book was the message closest to Taylor's heart: how every Christian can know Jesus and the depths of His love. This book has been called one of the abiding legacies of Hudson Taylor to the church. It's purpose is to lead the reader into the secret chamber, and then into the Banqueting House of the King. But Hudson's purpose here will not be fulfilled until the Christian reader is consequently propelled by the passion of God's heart into the world. In the power of a clear anointing from the Secret Place, Taylor has here been enabled to unfold in simplest language the deep truth of the believer's personal union with The Lord, which under symbol and imagery is the subject of this love song: The Song of Songs.
