Book description
God wants us to share our lives and our hearts with him. In this
updated and expanded edition of a spiritual classic, Christian Brother
Joseph Schmidt gently leads us to recognize that honest reflection
before God on the ordinary experiences of our lives is the very means of
our spiritual growth. As we speak to God about our personal story, we
can explore the significance of our unrest, our joys, our fears, and our
hopes. Then the Holy Spirit will lead us to self-knowledge and the
freedom to accept and appreciate ourselves and our lives as they are.
This book goes beyond any specific way of praying to the very heart of
prayer: intimacy with God.
- Valuable for any Christian, no matter where they are in their faith
journey.
- Helps readers view distractions in prayer as opportunities to draw
closer to God.
- Makes a thoughtful gift. “No matter how old we are or where we find
ourselves-whether new on the religious scene or a veteran of the battles
of recent decades-the insights in this book will be helpful in our life
of prayer.” Joseph F. Schmidt, FSC, is a lecturer, spiritual director,
and counselor at Sangre de Cristo Center, an international sabbatical
program located near Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is the author of
Everything Is Grace: The Life and Way of Thérèse of Lisieux and Praying
with Thérèse of Lisieux, both published by The Word Among Us Press.
