Starting this Saturday, we will be doing a weekly series about love and romance leading up to Valentine\u2019s Day\u2014Saturday, February 14.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In literature as in life, there are all types of love stories. There is the love between husbands and wives, between mothers and children, between friends. This Saturday we wanted to talk about what happens when things don\u2019t go right. When you hit a bump in the road.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The novel <em>The Song<\/em>\u00a0asks the hard questions of love and forgiveness.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>When even the wisest of men are fools for love, can true love persevere?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>We have the author, Chris Fabry, to give us a little behind-the-scenes glimpse of the characters and heart of <em>The Song.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about your main character, Jed King. What are his issues?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jed is such a talented young man. Handsome. He runs deep. And he really loves God and wants to please him. But he struggles with finding himself in the midst of both failure and success. He wants wisdom, he wants to play his music to large crowds, but things just aren\u2019t happening like he thought they would.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/ebookextra\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-680\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/01\/TheSong_3D-225.png\" alt=\"TheSong_3D 225\" width=\"225\" height=\"278\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What lessons or truths will your readers find in the pages of this novel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My hope is that they\u2019ll see themselves in Jed\u2019s story, in Rose\u2019s story, in Shelby, and in Rose\u2019s father, Shep. Each of them are flawed in some way, but each of them have strengths. What does it mean to be faithful to the gift God has given you? Is life just a series of meaningless, purposeless events? Is there a God who really cares? And what does abundant life look like? These are some of the questions I explore through the story.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tyndale.com\/ebookextra\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-681\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/01\/genuine-love-300x245.png\" alt=\"genuine love\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How do we come back from a fall from grace in our relationships?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never met a person who, after falling and receiving forgiveness like Jed, didn\u2019t come to the end of himself. A fall like that will bring you face-to-face with the real you. It will either force you into a state of humility, or you\u2019ll move forward with pride. Those are really the only choices. And the person on the other side has a difficult road too. He has to intentionally and authentically walk through all the pain of betrayal and abandonment and not just brush it aside. It\u2019s not easy, but in the end, God will provide a real opportunity to experience his grace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thesongmovie.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-682\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/crazy4fiction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/01\/the-song-poster-1024x598.jpg\" alt=\"the song poster\" width=\"676\" height=\"394\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><em>The Song<\/em> is a novelization of the motion picture screenplay by Richard L.
