Can we love the things of the earth without them becoming idols that distance us from God?
Is it possible to love God with all your heart, to take pleasure in him more than in anything else, and at the same time, to love your children, nature, a good pizza, your friends, your hobbies, a good football match with your college buddies?
Can we truly enjoy created things without feeling like we are betraying our attachment to God by not taking “enough” pleasure in him? Are the little pleasures of life a hindrance to our love for God?
The author argues that the pleasures of life can, on the contrary, nourish our passion for God every day. He therefore invites us to take pleasure in God and in his gifts, and in him through his gifts.
In an epilogue that is very practical, Matthieu Giralt helps us discover one of his favorite activities: the barbecue! For many people, having a barbecue is a source of deep satisfaction, which illustrates many of the truths presented in this book. Matthieu thus helps us understand in a concrete way how to nourish our passion for God while fully enjoying his wonderful gifts.
