General Description:
Man's highest aspiration is to be able to converse with Jesus - to pray. In Conversation with God helps the reader to pray with piety and with confidence. It is aimed not at the 'specialist' but is for the ordinary person - for the housewife, for the teacher, for the secretary, for the shop assistant...
Following the thread of the Liturgy, this book gives many practical hints for deepening in one's relationship with God and those around one, improving one's character in and through daily work and family life. The author has clearly succeeded in not creating a straitjacket; rather the book, rich as it is in quotations from spiritual writers throughout the ages, is a source of open suggestions for daily meditation on every aspect of Christian life. Sales of this series, running to several hundred thousand copies in all the main languages, are a testimony to its popularity.

Review By: Anonymous From Louisiana 5.0/5Phenomenal, 10/19/2005
I've had this set for a while now and while I was hesitant to make the purchase due to the price, I now feel it was one of the best purchases I've ever made. If I don't get to hear the entire homily (I've several children) I can open one of the books at my leisure and really contemplate the readings and/or feasts. They are so filled with information (and references if I want more info), yet it is written at a readable level that is very engaging and easy to apply to my life. I recommend this set so highly.
