Our Jealous God: Love That Won't Let Me Go

by Bill Gothard

God calls Himself jealous. But we tend to assume that the loving God revealed by Jesus Christ has somehow lost this worrisome trait. The truth is, He watches our thoughts, our smallest deeds, our most casually spoken words. Everything about us is far more real to God than we can imagine. And God's intense jealousy for us is our highest honor, an overflowing of sheer grace - our most powerful motivation for walking closely in His presence each day. When we understand it better, it becomes a pathway to countless blessings.

When Jealousy Is Right

You can be glad God calls Himself jealous. If He didn’t care who—or what—else we loved, something would be terribly wrong. The truth is, God watches our thoughts, our smallest deeds, our most casually spoken words. Everything about us is intensely real to God.

Find out why His jealousy is your highest honor—and the pathway to unimagined blessings.

This was my third read-through of this little book (84 pages), and I have been blessed and helped each time. The main chapter titles are: Loving God with All Our Heart, Loving God with All Our Soul, Loving God with All Our Mind, Loving God with All Our Strength; then three chapters on the Competing Affections (Loving Our Life, Loving The World, and Loving Money). There is no fluff in this book, just good Biblical instruction along with real life illustrations. Recommended.

This book was both inspirational and very challenging... do I love the Lord with my whole heart, soul, mind, and strength? I would encourage each and every Christian to read this book! It was very easy to read, very good!

I learned how God was concern to everybody by showing his jealousy against all the worldly things.
