      Loving God with All Your Heart - Susie Hobson

      Praise from Readers

      As I read Susie Hobson’s book, Loving God with All Your Heart, I was amazed by its practical application of Biblical principles to everyday life. I believe that her explanation of keeping God’s first great commandment will inspire and encourage readers in a closer walk with God and faithful living. I know that others will be blessed, as I was, upon reading this book.

      JUDGE ROY S. MOORE

      President, Foundation for Moral Law

      This book brings to mind the exchanged life which Paul so powerfully described when he said, I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; and then added yet, not I, but Christ liveth in me (Galatians 2:20). As I have observed Susie Hobson, that is what I see: Christ living in and through her.

      My heart aches for the modern church and professing Christians. Divorce is rampant among church members, and young people are leaving the church after growing up in Sunday School and church. They have been fed pablum, for the most part. However, this book should fill a real need among families who long for a Biblical order in the home, and I am happy to endorse it.

      Emerald Mountain Christian School, Montgomery, Alabama.

      Loving God is a warm, engaging invitation to a deep personal walk with God. Susie Hobson writes with a personal transparency and practicality that show a vital relationship with the Lord is both real and obtainable. The work is a wonderful tool for Christian growth and evangelism. Susie has given a clear path to the fulfillment of the greatest desire of man’s heart—relationship with the living God.

      Susie Hobson’s book, Loving God with All Your Heart is practical, powerful, and applicable. As I read each page, I could also read Susie’s heart like an open book. Her love relationship with God is so apparent throughout the book. I commend Susie Hobson for reminding us again and again that the love we all long for begins and ends with a life that is surrendered to Jesus. I believe God will use this book to create a longing—an unquenchable thirst in hearts and lives—that can only be satisfied by an intimate relationship with Him.

      Publisher’s Word

      Gerald Christian Nordskog

      God did this so that men would seek Him and

      perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though

      He is not far from each one of us. (Acts 17:27)

      [A]nyone who comes to Him must believe

      that He exists, and that He rewards those

      who earnestly seek Him. (Heb. 11:6b)

      For everyone who asks receives;

      he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks,

      the door will be opened. (Matt. 7:8)

      Clearly and with encouragement the author draws us to the essential key for relationship with the Living God - to commune with Him through His Word, through spending time with Him. The more you know Him, the more you are able to obey the first and greatest commandment - to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength - and unlock His fellowship.

      Mrs. Hobson has walked her talk so that with personal knowledge and authenticity she lays the foundation, which is to start with Scripture reading and seek Him first (Matt. 6:33).

      She calls us to be - in humble Abrahamic faith - friends of God (James 2:23). And that is just the beginning of the abundant life and ultimate miracle it is for a created, finite human being to know and fellowship with the infinite, eternal God of Love.

      Built on this foundation is blessed joy, wisdom, and empowerment from the Holy Spirit to serve - to do the work of God and obey the second greatest commandment, giving to family, friends,
