5.0 out of 5 stars For a Real Challange!, Mar 13 2006

This review is from: In Conversation With God (7-Volume Set) (Paperback)

This is an amazing Catholic meditation and daily reflection series. The seven volumes have daily readings for each day of the church year as well as volume 6 & 7 being special Feast Days. The readings draw heavily upon the writings of Josemaria Escriva the founder of Opus Dei, Pope John Paul II, and the daily readings from the common liturgy for that day. The Sundays have three sets of readings depending on if we are in year A, B, or C in the church readings. These devotions are all about 6 pages long and divided into 3 sections. They can be read all as a lump or part in the morning, midday and evening. I find that with every day there is so much meat in these devotions that I am already planning on reading them again next year.

"We have a duty to rest. Resting in order to serve God and other people better.
We should learn to rest. If we can avoid becoming totally exhausted we should not fail to do so. God wants us to look after our health, and to know how to recover our strength. It is part of the fifth commandment. We need to rest in order to be fit, to restore lost energy, and so that our work may be all the more effective. Above all, we need it so as to serve God and other people better."
Francis Fernandez
In Conversation With God Volume #3 p.217

"For this reason asking advice about reading is an important part of the virtue of prudence, very especially if it is a question of theological or philosophical books, which can radically affect our formation and even our faith itself. How important it is to be right about books! It is still more important to consult our spiritual director about books specifically destined to aid the formation of our soul."
Francis Fernandez
In Conversation With God - Volume #3 p.117

Are but two samplings of what I have already copied out into my journal this year. There is a complete subject, and biblical reference index in volume 7, unfortunately the earlier volumes indexes only go as far as that volume #. The indexes are subject, and reference quoted by church Fathers, Popes and Saints. These books will draw anyone deeper into a faith and a life of action based upon that faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying devotional, Oct 1 2002

This review is from: In Conversation With God (7-Volume Set) (Paperback)

When I converted from Protestantism to Catholicism I looked for a devotional to replace "My Utmost For His Highest." This is it and it is rich and satisfying.

Seven pocket sized volumes. Well worth the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Name For a Perfect Book, Nov 20 2003

By

Nicole (P-O-S Trinidad and Tobago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Conversation With God (7-Volume Set) (Paperback)

This series is one of the greatest sets of books I have come across. Each Meditation is only about 6 pages long but the it contains words of wisdom that draws you closer to God and really helps you in your day-to-day life.It is certainly for the ordinary person trying to be more like Jesus. I normally start reading a book and then never keep up but this one is definately a keeper....I actually look forward to reading it.It is clear, concise and to the point. BUY IT......
