Customer Reviews

Divine Intimacy is a Great Spiritual Gem.

I Love reading this Classic and pondering what I read. I recommend this Classic highly to anyone who need Spiritual reading.

EXCELLENT.

I use this book for contemplation and meditation. I must say that this great book helps in times of need. I plan to become a priest myself with the Legionaries of Christ. Books like this help us live a solid life and one for Christ and for the Church.Thanks !

An answer to prayer...

This book is helping me live the contemplative Christian experience. The relationship between contemplation and action has always been a "fuzzy" challange to me. This book is speaking directly to me, daily. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seriously trying to live his/her Christian Faith.I agree with the first reviewer - Scripture; The Imitation of Christ; Divine Intimacy (and I add"THe Practice of the Presence of God, by Brother Lawrence). BUY IT !

Excellent Spiritual Meditations

For those who want to compliment their interior and prayer life with spiritual reflections that incorporate both the ancient teachings of the Church, especially Thomism, and the modern mysticism of the Carmelite theology will find this tome a treasure for daily use before, after, or during Mass, the Divine Office, and/or other spiritual activities. I've used the two-part reading and prayerful meditation assigned for each day with the Liturgy of the Hours to great avail. Even though some of the reflections and meditations no longer correspond to the scriptural readings assigned by Lectionary after Vatican II (this applies only to Sunday lections), the reflections are wholly self-contained and no less relevant. This book would be an excellent addition to any Christian desiring to deepen one's faith and pair it with the works of faith.

Divine Inspiration!

A fantastic book which has assisted me in my daily devotion to prayer and meditation. The daily readings are just the right length for a quick study. When time permits, the readings can also offer a wonderful beginning to prayer and contemplation. Sometimes it is not easy to begin on your own, but this book will always give you something to start with in those times. The daily meditations have always been very appropriate for my particular state of mind and heart at the moment I begin to read.

Great Book!

The daily format, following the Liturgical year, was very helpful. There is a "discussion" topic, and then a "colloquay" for each day. The discussion topic examines in depth some facet of spiritual development. The colloquay is a prayerlike meditation upon the meat of the discussion topic. This could easily be used to facilitate a daily contemplation time. This is a deep book, but by dividing the topic up into bite-size pieces, it is very digestible. How many "daily meditation" books can you read every day? If you are serious about your spiritual development, you will want to make sure this is one of them.
