Faith expressed through obedience

Charles W. Colson considers what it means to love God beyond church attendance, prayer routines, or religious feeling. Drawing on Scripture, Christian history, and his own experiences, he presents obedience as a practical expression of that love, while acknowledging that it can involve difficulty and sacrifice. The book connects spiritual growth with the effort to live out a sense of calling, framing Christian commitment as something enacted in everyday choices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians exploring how faith can shape daily conduct
  • Readers interested in spiritual growth grounded in Scripture and Christian history
  • Those considering the relationship between love of God, obedience, and personal calling

Book overview

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.
