On Loving God

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

Narrated by: 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.

True way with words, piety and joy love and exaltation

The piety of the author and exaltation of Jesus Christ, to God be the Glory!

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.
