A Discovery of Glorious Love

by John Durant

Love is glorious―we might even say transcendent. Yet no love is as glorious as the Lord Jesus’s love for His people. From Ephesians 3:19, John Durant explains the greatness of Christ’s love as beyond what words can express or our wildest imagination. While this love is so great that we cannot fully comprehend it, it is indeed true and among the sweetest comforts that can ease our troubled hearts. Durant reveals the many ways that Christ's heart is full of tender love for all believers. But has this love captured your heart?

[Matthew Schwartz · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Christ will love you, and does love you, O believer, because He will. Do not therefore stand questioning why He should, but be comforted, and rejoice in this, that He does love you, even you, O poor soul. Though it may be your faith is little, yet Christ’s love to you is true.”

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really good book from a lesser-known Puritan author, who really ought to be better known.

[Jaymee Pilarta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Christ loves not because there is grace, but because He loves He gives grace.

[Joshua · Rating 5 out of 5]

A renewing review of Christ's love proved from Scripture and applied for both our fight with sin and journey for joy in God. Durant's writing is evident that he is a man who has experienced a taste of the fulness of the love of his Lord, and as a minister he longs for other Christians not only to know, but to believe, trust, and rest upon the transcendent love of God in Christ

Very good - some passages concerning Christ and the believer are quite intimate and would make most men uneasy!

Beautiful! I have to start reading more of Durant’s works. One of the most wonderful puritan works I read. This book reminded me of John Bunyan’s ‘All Loves Excelling’.

[Alex · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good read through all 6 sermons, where Durant continually attempts to impress on his readers that Christ's love to believers is so great that it passes knowledge. Very compelling and worth the read.
