The Kiss of Peace: A Contemporary Exploration into Song of Solomon by Diane Virginia (Cunio) had so many helpful suggestions for my walk with Jesus. A major change is that I now spend every morning with Beloved Jesus until He has whispered in my ear everything I need to hear. I also do personal communion every day. These two things strengthen my walk the rest of the day.

This expedition helped me experience a more intimate relationship with the Lord. I have read the verses in Song of Solomon and said out loud that God loves me, that Jesus loves me, but in my heart I couldn’t comprehend it. But now, I am getting there. I don’t feel the struggle of trying to measure up. I don’t feel alone now, knowing He is with me as I go out to be a witness for Him. This really made me love Him more.

This expedition has greatly impacted my understanding of this power-book of the Bible. More importantly, I’ve found a much deeper appreciation of the passionate, personal love Christ has for me, His Bride.

She provided relevant testimonies to expound upon the already anointed content of The Kiss of Peace: A Contemporary Exploration into Song of Solomon by Diane Virginia (Cunio).

Knowing how Jesus sees me gives me greater confidence in ministry, prayer and relationships in general.

It has been a tremendous blessing to witness the conception, birth, and growth of a work of God. And then to finally see it become reality is my delight. Congratulations, Diane, for holding onto and pursuing your God-given dream.

Ahead of you is a marvelous journey. From Sharon’s Valley, to Mt.

Prepare to be blessed by the One who gave His live to make you complete!
