Book Description: Every human heart longs to love and be loved. And every heart is unfulfilled until it falls in love with God.
Why does anyone want to ''fall in love?'' With anyone? Perhaps it is because we instinctively recognize that love is the most pleasurable of all human sensations. Love makes us feel good. It satisfies our deepest needs. And if falling in love with another human being can do all of those things . . . how much more powerful could it be to fall in love with God?
HOW TO FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD answers that question. Drawing from the ancient love story of Hosea, a prophet whose life and prophecy map how to fall in love with God, this book will fulfill the desires of all who long for a different--or deeper--relationship with God. This thoroughly biblical book will help and bless readers who long to love God with all their hearts . . . but just aren't sure why they don't, if they could, or how it happens.
My Thoughts: As a christian I thought, "I need to read this book!" Falling in Love with God seems like it should be a "given" when we are following Him. But I think that reading about and recapturing that first love is why we, all, need a reminder of how to fall in love with God. To know of God and to love God are two very different things. I want a heartfelt love!
I found it interesting that Bob Hostetler used the story of Hosea. Hosea was faithful to God but when Hosea married a young woman she became unfaithful to him. Yet, Hosea went to great lengths to win his wife back, even though she had truly turned her back on his love. Such a loving God we have! God, like Hosea, woos us and wants us to return His love. How can we not fall in love with such a wonderful God who loves us best!
That vacuum that many people try to fill with other"loves" is simply needing God the Creator's love.
Mr. Hostetler writes with a creative pen as he describes our need to be in love with God. He includes stories of people and their relationships . . . how they fell in love and were wooed by their spouses.
An interesting and beautiful read about our relationship of how to fall in love with God-the One who loves us most!
A must read for those who love God and want Him to be first in their lives!
