Description
The Goad of Love is a spiritual and devotional work written by the English mystic, Walter Hilton, in the 14th century. The book is structured as a dialogue between a spiritual director and a disciple, and it explores the nature of divine love and the path to spiritual perfection. Hilton draws on the teachings of the Christian tradition, particularly the works of St. Augustine and St. Bernard of Clairvaux, to articulate his vision of the spiritual life. He emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge, humility, and detachment from worldly desires as essential elements of the spiritual journey. The book also includes practical advice for cultivating a life of prayer and contemplation, as well as reflections on the nature of sin and the role of suffering in the spiritual life. Throughout the text, Hilton uses vivid and poetic language to evoke the beauty and power of divine love, and to inspire readers to seek a deeper relationship with God. The Goad of Love has been widely read and appreciated by both scholars and lay readers, and it continues to be a valuable resource for those seeking guidance and inspiration on their spiritual journey.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.
