How often do we ask this question: what love does God want from us? So often it is just the opposite; we pray to God to tell him what we want – never thinking that we are in a relationship – never considering what we should give in return. On Loving God is a devotional classics written in the 12 century by Bernard of Clairvaux. It is a A succinct, exquisite meditation on what it means to love God. Bernard of Clairvaux presents the concept of the four degrees of love: First degree: love of self for self’s sake; Second degree: love of God for self’s sake; Third degree: love of God for God’s sake; Fourth degree: love of self for God’s sake. This book will encourage readers to continue growing in their love and gratitude towards God.
