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 Fresno, CA, USA 5.0/5Masterful Work, 04/19/2007
For any sincere Roman Catholic, Fr. Fernandez' work is monumental, combining the daily readings of the holy sacrifice of the mass with the writings of St. Jose Marie Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, and other Catholic classics.
While not a member of Opus Dei, I was priveleged to have an Opus Dei spiritual director at UCLA some 20 years ago while an undergraduate. That priest recommended this work, actually the whole series, to me.
Buy it and you will immediately see it's value.
