Product Overview
Finding Christ in the World invites the reader to “let God show you where and how He concretely breaks into your life.” A 12–week prayer experience framed by the Spiritual Exercises, the book is of particular help to faith communities such as Bible study and prayer groups. But individuals can also use it as a means of prayer. The instructions for retreat invite a “conversion of heart from a tight focus on one’s self to a graced focus on God–with–us.” The book includes questions and prompts for reflection (for example, “When I think about God listening to me, I want to tell him…”), and guidelines for reviewing each week of prayer. We have improved the 2017 edition with curl-resistant front and back covers.

5 Second Copy
Posted by Norman Cyr on Jan 24th 2022
This is my second copy for me because I gave the original to a friend. I have given away a few books to interested Catholics because I believe in this subject. Excellent book. This is my second year going through it again.

5 Adult Christian Education
Posted by Paul Baker on Oct 2nd 2021
Great content and written in plain English. I see it as a prayer guide but it is more than that. It is Spirituality 101, adult Christian education. Pray and learn from it for 12 weeks or forever as long it takes. It is good news to know how to access the gifts of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives.

This book so far is accompanying our small group retreat-it provides excellent structure for us and has an accessible, non-pedantic quality that I like. Thanks!

5 Into my first week and I find it laid out well. Information easy to follow and like the questions and directions that help in your reflection Well done

Looking at this as something to offer a parish as a short retreat or to our Discipleship groups. Will be easy to pull the information a week at a time
