Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores what theologians call the 'delectable object' of our love and worship, God. The author, writing in the 17th century, positions his work within a religious tradition that encourages the reader to enjoy and glorify God in their actions and thoughts. He unpacks the idea that God is not merely to be seen as a ruler to be obeyed, but as a treasure to be enjoyed. Drawing on biblical texts, stories, and insights, he reflects on the power of human desire, unpacking the motives that lead us towards loving God. Central to this is the concept of divine communication, whereby the author suggests we can have a direct line to the divine. This communication with God takes many forms, from contemplation to prayer, and the author explores how this communication can not only satisfy our cravings but also lead us towards a deeper understanding and enjoyment of God's own character.
