Experiencing God: The Three Stages of Prayer
"Thomas Green, S.J., was one of the most beloved and most accessible of all modern Catholic spiritual writers.Experiencing Godis classic Green: clear, concise, based on years of experience as a believer and a spiritual director, and enormously helpful for anyone seeking to move closer to God in prayer and daily life. Highly recommended." --Rev. James Martin, S.J., Author ofMy Life with the SaintsandThe Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything"Thomas Green's book,Experiencing God, offers a very readable synthesis of his own thinking on prayer. I found the book to be very helpful, because it's not just about stages of a person's prayer life but about spiritual growth itself: from knowing to loving God, from loving to truly loving God. I would recommend the book to anyone committed to a life-long encounter with God, as well as to spiritual directors, prayer-companions, and pastors, who must from time to time find words to articulate how to move forward in that mysterious reality we call prayer. --Rev. Michael McCarthy, S.J., Santa Clara University
