Just as the title indicates, this famous booklet of St. Alphonsus Liguori teaches us how to speak personally and with confidence in prayer to God, who, the Saint says, will not “speak” to us unless we first speak to Him. Covers every aspect of our personal relationship with God. St. Paul says of Our Lord, “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.” ( Ephesians 3:12). Thus, we can approach God as His friends, with confidence and boldness—yes, we spiritual pygmies are to approach with boldness the Almighty and Infinite God! But that is how God wants us to be—familiar, confident, bold and constant! TAN Books & Publishers Spring 2005. Quantity
This book is the fruit of Fr. Dubay's many years of study and experience in spiritual direction and in it he synthesizes the teachings on prayer of the two great doctors of the Church on prayer--St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila--and the teaching of Sacred Scripture. But the teaching that Fr. Dubay synthesized is not collected from Teresa and John for contemplatives alone. It is meant for every Christian and is based on the Gospel imperative of personal prayer and the call to holiness. All the major elements of these great teachers are ordered, commented on and put in the context of their scriptural foundations. Here is an outstanding book on prayer and the spiritual life written by one of the best spiritual directors and retreat masters of our time, and based on the writings of the Church's two greatest mystical doctors.
"This book is a gold mine for any Christian intent on making progress in prayer. Any reader who appreciates the relevance of the spiritual in these troubled times will find Fire Within difficult to put down. A work of art by a master of the spiritual life." - Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R.

Life can hurt us in many ways—physically, spiritually, and emotionally. When times grow difficult, it often helps to have examples of how others heal their wounds. Lyn Holley Doucet explores the ways that St. Ignatius of Loyola found healing in his own life and applies his principles to modern troubles.
Forty real-life stories demonstrate a wide range of experiences—from overcoming a creative crisis to coping with breast cancer to dealing with an unexpected divorce—and capture the Ignatian spirit of finding God in all things and all events in our lives.
Following each story, Doucet provides questions for journaling and reflection to help readers find clarity on similar issues. The book also includes complete instructions for group use. Paperback, 250 pages, Loyola Press, February 2003.

Carmelite history and prayer begin with Elijah on Mount Carmel. From Elijah has descended a long line of saints who have heard the voice of the Lord calling them to leave everything and come "drink from the stream". This book is an invitation for you to come and pray with the holy men and women of the Carmelite order.
The prayers and meditations in this book will help the reader listen to and pray with the saints of Carmel throughout the ages, from Elijah through the twentieth century. In these prayers are stories of particular times, places, longings, sometimes suffering, at other times ecstatic joy. These prayers allow one to enter into the most intimate depths of the souls of Carmelite saints. How better to learn than from the masters themselves.
This book is made up of the prayers and meditations of more than twenty-five saints, along with a short biography of each saint, and numerous illustrations. In addition to helping one with prayer and meditation, it also provides prayer for specific topics. Whether one is a beginner or highly advanced in prayer, there is a prayer suitable for nearly every occasion. These magnificent prayers echo from prison cells, hospital beds, battlefields, and even treetops. It gives special emphasis to the prayers and meditations of the three great Carmelite mystics: Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, and Thérèse of Lisieux. But the other twenty-two saints include a wonderful variety, with Elizabeth of the Trinity, Simon Stock, Titus Brandsma, Edith Stein, and many more. Illustrated, 364 pages.
