On Loving God

De: Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, P.J. Ochlan

Narrado por: John Polhamus

"We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable."

On Loving God is first a touching description of God's love for us as a unmistakably demonstrated in the death of his Son. Second, it is a call for us to joyfully respond to God like the child who runs to and embraces her father whose love is sure.

As St. Bernard writes, "They love all the more, because they know themselves to be loved so exceedingly."

Do you love God?

This brief book helps to clarify for those in Christ the motives of why we love God. And in our progressive sanctification, Bernard sheds divine light so we can know, love and enjoy the Maker of the heavens and the earth at the highest level, even now while pilgrams on the earth, and ultimately with Him forever in the Kingdom of God with the incarnate, crucified, resurrected, ascended, glorified Immanuel... who will come again as promised. For God does not and cannot LIE like our enemy the devil.

Inside the mind and spirit of a saint

There are too many pearls and priceless jewels to be grasped at in one reading, each one a delicacy to be savored, but hastily comes another. When I knew Him not, I had sought Him in another. As I find Him out, I find I need no other.

On Loving God

Excellent book! I have listened to it three times and will listen to it many more times because Each time it lifts my heart to God.

For All Christians.

This work of the Saint is so important for all Christians to read. To love God you must understand him, for love follows knowledge. So too, is also vastly important to understand what love truly is, especially when the word is used so flippantly within the English speaking culture.

An Old School Game Changer

Listen to this in one setting for a complete mood change. It is spiritually uplifting.

Inspiring

It is a great way to think about God, why we should love God and how. It is worth listening to even if you are not Christian or religious at all.

Timeless insight with amazing depth

I can't even begin to guess how our ancient figures of the faith knew God so well. Bernard, rightly called St Bernard, takes down a journey of relishing in God's lavish love for us and logically and rationally shows us why God deserves our love in return. It makes you want to bow down and worship with all your heart and soul.

Clear and precise

Every truly seeking Christian may benefit from this book. No fluff, just good and simple stuff that any reader can understand whether you know the bible or not.
