God Doesn’t Hate Me After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort's Love of Eternal Wisdom

“Greg Willits has given the Church a great gift with God Doesn’t Hate Me After All. Through his own story and in the timeless words of St. Louis de Montfort, this book invites the reader to a deeper friendship with Jesus through Mary. I pray that it will inspire and encourage many hearts!”

Bishop Robert Reed, Archdiocese of Boston; The CatholicTV Network

“Greg Willits has given St. Louis de Montfort’s masterpiece new life for the modern world. Through his own story of redemption and healing, Willits shows how The Love of Eternal Wisdom is as urgent and relevant today as it was three hundred years ago.”

Dan Burke, Chairman and President, Avila Institute

“God Doesn’t Hate Me After All isn’t just a book—it’s a journey of the heart. With honesty, humility, and a good dose of real-life experience, Greg Willits weaves his own story together with the timeless wisdom of St. Louis de Montfort, inviting you into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, Eternal Wisdom. This is a book that will challenge you, encourage you, and open your eyes to the ways God has been pursuing you all along, sometimes in the most unexpected places.”

Danielle Bean, Author and Speaker

“Having taught the Scriptures, Old and New Testament, for over twenty years, I’ve often been struck by the importance of the theme of God’s wisdom throughout the Bible and Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of that theme. Yet there is little or no exploration of the reality of Divine Wisdom in contemporary Catholic literature. Now Greg Willits has addressed this void with a beautiful meditation on a major scriptural theme under the guidance of St. Louis de Monfort. This is a rich and exquisite work worthy of slow and meditative reading.”

Dr. John Bergsma, Professor of Theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

“Greg Willits has done us an inestimable favor in restoring a classic work by one of the great saints of Christian history. But he has done something more and better. He has shown us how that work can transform a particular, ordinary, messy life today. This book is so powerful, it leaves a crater when it lands in the soul.”

Dr. Scott Hahn, Fr. Scanlan Professor of Biblical Theology; Founder and President, St. Paul Center

“Achingly raw yet ultimately uplifting, Greg Willits’s God Doesn’t Hate Me After All testifies to how Louis de Montfort’s classic is still an instrument of God’s grace today.”

Gene Luen Yang, Creator, The Rosary Comic Book

“Let’s applaud Greg Willits for telling this searing memoir of a confused young man unhappily raised in the fumes of a post–Vatican II wintertime. Until a providential December day in the mid-1990s, his story reads like an omnibus of wrenching life circumstances, poor choices, and distance from God. Uniquely relying on de Montfort’s wisdom as a backdrop, Willits transitions his wrong-way marathon back to a place of grace, order, and enlightenment, where he began to abide in God alone. If you enjoy raw, wide-open stories, this book is for you!”

Kevin Wells, Author, The Hermit and Coached by the Cure’: Lessons in Shepherding with St. John Vianney

“Marked by deep vulnerability, Greg Willit’s book God Doesn’t Hate Me After All weaves St. Louis de Montfort’s The Love of Eternal Wisdom and Willits’s lived experience into a powerful testimony of God’s mercy and healing grace.”

Maria Morera Johnson, Author, A Beautiful Second Act: Saints and Soul Sisters Who Taught Me to Age with Grace

“This is a book born of courage, and the author speaks a word we need to hear. Mental illness, like any illness, need not be an obstacle to holiness. Like any suffering, it can be sanctified. Greg Willits writes—from hard personal experience—to our time of epidemic anxiety and depression. He has found a way forward, through sorrow to glory, and he shares it here.”

Mike Aquilina, Author; EWTN host

“Greg Willits combines deep faith, radical vulnerability, and grace for himself and others in a powerful way. There is something here for every peace-seeking soul, even if you’ve never heard of St. Louis de Montfort before.”

Patrick Lencioni, Bestselling business author, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Six Types of Working Genius

“I’ve always said that devotion to Mary never takes us away from Jesus—it brings us closer to Him. In these pages, Greg Willits shows how St. Louis de Montfort lived and preached that truth with passion. This book, which combines de Montfort’s classic with Greg’s own story, is a practical, heartfelt guide for walking the same path today.”

Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archdiocese of New York
