5.0 out of 5 stars God Speaks, I Listen and Pray, April 11, 2006

This is an excellent book to use for meditating first thing in the morning before getting lost in the busyness and stress of the usual workday.

I was given this book when I was in high-school and never paid much attention to it. Twenty five years later I remembered this book and searched long for it. The Pauline Media of the Sisters of St. Paul Store carries it here in San Francisco. Right now, I need more copies of this book to give out to friends who I know will appreciate it. I couldn't believe Amazon carries this book too.

What is amazing with this book is as you read a chapter, it feels as if the Lord Christ is talking to you so kindly, patiently and with great love ---- making things clear in your mind, guiding you and comforting you. As you read, it feels as if the Lord is reading your mind, knows how you are feeling at that moment --- it's like having a friend, a loving parent sitting beside you verbalizing your thoughts and feelings -- and just clearing your thoughts and anxieties. After reading a chapter, one is ready to happily and bravely meet what's around the bend.

This little book is breath taking. It was introduced to me by a friend of mine. He was given a copy by a friend of his and so on and so on. Luckily, there is a the "Paulina's" Book store in Miami that has these books in stock and we all would buy their inventory and give them out to whomever God inspired us to give them to. In my opinion, the best way to read this book is to ask God to speak to you and run your finger across the book and open it whereever your finger stops. No matter what, the reflection will be exactly what you need to hear at that moment. Sometimes it scolds you, sometimes it rewards you etc. After a while you realize that God actually speaks through this book. If it costs $1000 it would be worth it. (Amazon don't get any ideas). God Bless.

This small book is the best source of spiritual food one could ask for. Each short chapter, approximately 2 pages each, is perfect for a short meditation. I recommend this book to everyone. Applications for everyone and every situation.
