Opening to God
A Guide to Prayer
Thomas H Green SJ

Often we are drawn to prayer but are timid and unsure about how to pray. For over thirty years, Opening to God has de-mystified prayer for countless thousands. Beginning with the assurance that the desire to pray is a sign that God is present, Thomas Green SJ reveals prayer to be a passageway to new spiritual terrain, accessible to all who want to go there.
Friendly and inviting, Opening to God explains what prayer is all about and why it is relevant to our lives, and then turns to techniques that ready the soul to encounter God. Mining his experience as a Jesuit missionary and spiritual director, Green shakes away the cobwebs and banishes stodgy assumptions about a spiritual life that is fed by the practice of prayer.
A must-have resource for both beginners and practiced “pray-ers” who want to cultivate a more meaningful prayer experience.

Thomas H Green SJ is the author of nine books on the spiritual life, including the popular discernment guide Weeds Among the Wheat (Pauline Publications, Mumbai). An internationally recognized writer, teacher and mentor, he has served for more than thirty years at San Jose Seminary in Manila where he worked as a spiritual director and professor of Philosophy and Pastoral Theology.
