Synopsis

Jesus tells us that the greatest commandment is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” But how many of us know what this looks like in daily life? Does loving God mean going to church, tithing, having regular prayer times? Is it a feeling in our hearts?A few years after Chuck Colson became a Christian, he realized that the more he learned about God’s love for him, the more he wanted to know how to love God. This book is the masterpiece Colson wrote after searching Scripture, history, and his own difficult experiences to answer his deepest question. He discovered that loving God is obeying God—rarely easy, sometimes inconvenient, often painful, and entirely satisfying. When we love God, we know the pleasure of living out our true calling.Billy Graham considers Loving God “one of the most spiritually satisfying books I have ever read.” Joni Eareckson Tada refers to it as “the complete volume on Christian living.” With fascinating stories and engaging theological insights, Loving God has been bringing people closer to Jesus for over thirty years. In this hour of opportunity for the church and for our own spiritual lives, Loving God will inspire you to love God with your whole being. It’s what you were created to do.

Goodreads review by John

This is one of my favorite books, although it's very convicting. Charles Colson relies heavily on storytelling to make his points. These true stories are poignant, powerful, gripping. He tells them in sparse, conversational language that makes them all the more powerful. I think of Colson as a prophet......more

Goodreads review by Sarah

This is not a hard to read book. But for someone who grew up Christian like me, it is a refresher and a reminder of faith not as what I do, but why I do it. Somebody gave it to me as a gift when I was a freshman in college; I ignored it then and that's probably when I really needed it! Chuck Colson's......more
