The Creator and The Creature: The Wonders of Divine Love

by Frederick William Faber

This book stands as the "source and origin" of all Father Faber's other writings. It contains a fundamental insight that leads to a proper understanding of Catholic spirituality. Fr. Faber says that men in the modern era accept God's existence but deny His sovereignty in practice. Though written in the mid-19th century, this book is absolutely on target today because humanity's tendency to arrogate itself to the prerogatives of God, although strong in Fr. Faber's time, is epidemic today. A real eye-opener!

Though he was a Roman Catholic writing for fellow Catholics at that point, many of his hymns today are sung by Protestant congregations.

Reviews

[Nigella Blunt]

Ch2 P53 Humiliation and poverty beat them down and they incurred anger from God. That was because they had disbelieved in God’s signs and killed the prophets without having any right to. That happened because they disobeyed and had acted so defiant.
