Love's Endeavour, Love's Expense Book

From the Foreword by H. A. Williams:'A masterpiece...Nobody reading this book could doubt for a moment that it is the product of personal experience of a most costly and rewarding kind. On every page the book is alive with passion. We are given no theories but only truths which have been lived through and made the author's own. Vanstone gives us an analysis of human love and leads us thereby to an apprehension of God's love.' A reflection on how individuals and communities respond to the love God has for Creation - a great work of practical theology and spirituality. Thirty years after its first publication, Love's Endeavour, Love's Expense remains transforming and compelling. William H. Vanstone explores the nature and the cost of authentic love, distinguishing it from destructive imitations, and he reflects on the precarious activity of God in creation, the 'sublime self-giving, which is the ground and source and origin of the universe' and which requires the Creator to wait upon the response of his creation. One of the most influential and best-loved spiritual books of the twentieth century)Read More
