5.0 out of 5 stars The Living God is a beautiful short book by Romano Guardini., October 16, 1998

By A Customer

The Living God is a short book by Romano Guardini which is a treatise on God as a living, active force in our lives, not just a concept of theology to be studied on paper. He starts with the face of God (what God looks like), divine providence (God's care for our lives), then what God sees and wills (God's control of everything) and goes into other facets of our relationship with God, always writing with clarity, holiness, and profundity and always taking us back to the very simple truths about the nature of God and man. It is a beautiful beautiful book. The part describing God's face is one of the most beautiful I have come across in religious writing. Guardini is very very deep, but not at all frightening. I highly recommend this book. He is an excellent guide into the mysteries of faith.
