God Doesn't Hate Me After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort's Love of Eternal Wisdom

by Greg Willits

For centuries, St. Louis de Montfort’s The Love of Eternal Wisdom has been treasured by the Church but left unread by lay Catholics, especially in modern times. Its mystical language is seen as daunting, its insights obscured by archaic eighteenth-century prose. Now Catholic author and Rosary Army founder Greg Willits breathes new life into this hidden gem by weaving his own moving life story into de Montfort’s inspired words.

More than a book, this is a spiritual companion for the wounded — for anyone weighed down by trauma, burnout, doubt, or dryness of soul. It is in this volume that the first seeds of de Montfort’s Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary crackle to life, revealing the most direct path to Eternal Wisdom Himself — Jesus Christ, who longs to embrace you in His radical love and healing mercy.

In these pages, you will walk alongside Greg through his struggles, failures, and moments of grace — and discover how de Montfort’s timeless wisdom speaks directly to the wounds and questions of our own suffering, humility, trust, identity, and the aching desire to be loved by God. You will
