Publisher's Synopsis
G. K. Chesterton advised, "Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair." Remarkably, God loves you with a passionate, crazy love and craves your love in return. Throughout your sojourn on earth, God entices you in various ways, pursues you, and even demands your love! God created you for love, and your final destiny is everlasting union with this divine Lover.Human beings exhibit certain characteristics toward a person they deeply love, for example, constantly thinking of the beloved and delighting in being together. When you are involved in an intimate relationship with God, these same characteristics hold true for both God and you. In "A Love Affair with God," twelve of these traits are explained. Each chapter presents how God shows one of these traits toward you and how you reciprocate likewise if you are in love with God. This last section is a goldmine of practical ways to express love for God. Scripture verses, quotations, stories, and examples are woven through the material. Questions for reflection are included.Reading this book promises to make you more aware of the immense love God has for you and to stir you to love God back with all your heart. This unique love affair is for time and for eternity. It makes life worth living.
