Loving God

Rating:
Summary: Significant Book!
Review: About midway through the book Colson tells us the two men who died on each side of Jesus could represent all mankind in that we either recognize our sinful selves and acknowledge that we need a Savior or we curse God and die. This book is written for those who want to obey the Savior and love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our body, and all our strength and love our neighbor as ourselves.

On relating to other Christians, Colson reminds us that God has given us each other for our mutual benefit. We are to love each other from a sincere heart.

In writing on holiness, Colson sees it as an every day affair, i.e., "the believer's ministy is being Christ's person right where he or she is, in the marketplace or the home, every moment of every day. This is part of the everyday business of holiness."

This is a book of depth that will help you grow in spiriual maturity. It is based on solid Bible teachings which can be summed up in love. Love God; love people.

Summary: Loving God is one of the best Christian books I've read
Review: Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God and to love one another. While loving one another is not easy, at least it is somewhat tangible. However, loving a being that you cannot detect with your five physical senses such as God can seem almost impossible. Charles Colson, former Nixon henchman during the Watergate scandal and now current leader of Prison Ministries, writes a wonderful book about what it means to be a Christian and how we can learn to love God. Charles Colson is a gifted story teller who relates beautiful narratives about the truth of Christianity and the power of loving God. This is definitely a book that I highly recommend. It is in the top ten list of many Christians who have had the pleasure of reading it. God bless.
