In Conversation with God

I just received this book which was suggested by a priest on EWTN. I had not heard of it before. It's written very well and explains how ordinary individuals can deepen their relationship with God. While it follows the Liturgy, it gives suggestions for improving our relationship with and communicating with God. I have an extensive library and this book is outstanding. It's at the top of my list of favorites.

A Must Have on your Nighstand/Nighttable

I phoned into one of Johnette Benkovic's( Full of Grace: Women and the Abundant Life) radio shows to tell her the story of my conversion and coming home, back, as a revert to the Church. I also related that I was having difficulty finding a spiritual director to work with and one of her responses/ recommendations was to recommend this series of meditation books. The books follow the themes of the weekly and daily readings at Mass. So, if you read the scriptures for the day and/or for Sunday, and then read this, you will have a very solid foundation and grounding in scripture. Catholics are often criticized for not knowing scripture. This is a way to help one get into it if you haven't yet. The books in this series are quite small with a vinyl cover and ribbon marker and are built for years of use. I keep mine on my night table next to my bed for prayer, meditation and lectio divina.
