On Loving God

In this concise and transcendent commentary on the human soul's capacity to love God, St. Bernard of Clairvaux charts the soul's ascent from the simplest beginnings of self-love toward the highest form of love: loving God purely for His own sake. On Loving God is both a practical guide and a theological reflection, offering readers the insights to deepen their relationship with God through a total commitment to "the eternal law whereby the uni-verse was created and is ruled." With incisive clarity and depth, On Loving God directs readers with contemplations that are as intellectually enriching as they are spir-itually transformative. No matter your station in life, dear reader, this timeless text will deepen your understanding of the eternal bond between Creator and creation and inspire you to an even greater awe, reverence, and devotion of Our Lord.
