Paperback: In Conversation with God: Daily Mediations Volume 7, Special Feasts (July-December) (2005) consists of 55 meditations. It is part of the series which offers a meditation for each day of the year.
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 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 and so on.
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.
In Conversation With God is a translation of Hablar con Dios - Vol VII first published in 1991 by Ediciones Palabra, Madrid, and in 1993 by Scepter with ecclesiastical approval.
