The Goad of Love - Walter Hilton - Bog

The Goad of Love is a spiritual treatise written by the English Augustinian friar and mystic, Walter Hilton. Originally written in the 14th century, the book is a guide to spiritual perfection and the attainment of divine love. It is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the spiritual journey. The first part focuses on the importance of self-knowledge and the need to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of spiritual growth. The second part discusses the nature of divine love and the ways in which it can be cultivated through prayer, meditation, and contemplation. The final part explores the role of the Holy Spirit in the spiritual life and the ways in which it can lead one to a deeper understanding of God's love. Throughout the book, Hilton draws upon the teachings of the Bible and the writings of the Church Fathers to offer guidance and encouragement to those seeking to deepen their relationship with God. The Goad of Love is a timeless classic of Christian spirituality, and it continues to inspire readers today with its profound insights into the nature of divine love and the human soul.Much like Thomas A Kempis' �������Imitation of Christ������� this book reveals the mystic way toward right living, loving, and yearning for God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
