About This Book
Description
?We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing is more profitable.? On Loving God is first a touching description of God's love for us as unmistakenly demonstrated in the death of His Son. Second, it is a call for us to joyfully respond to God like the child who runs 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.? Review: Saint Bernard of Clairvaux's life was truly amazing. During his lifetime (1090-1153), his austere lifestyle at the Citeaux monastery would eventually cause him severe physical illness. His writings and teachings were world renowned as he came to be one of the last church fathers. His influence during the Crusades, advice to various Popes and tremendous preaching greatly affected the medieval time period.Additional Product Information
