In A Course in Miracles it’s written that ‘prayer is the medium of miracles.’ At no time in the world has it been more obvious that humanity is in need of power that we alone cannot bestow. Caroline Myss presents the most ancient of powers in a startlingly relevant way.

When Caroline Myss asked me to review her book Intimate Conversations with the Divine, I was unprepared for what I was in for. On the surface her book is about how prayer is the sacred language through which we intimately connect with something beyond and greater than ourselves. While reading her words, however, I was shocked-and delighted-when I began having the experience that something alive was speaking to me, as if I was in dialogue with another part of myself. But even more than that, in reading her book I began to intuitively feel through my heart that her words weren’t about prayer, but were, in a very magical and unexpected way, answering a prayer of mine. It was as if a deeper part of myself had dreamed up Caroline’s book to come my way at exactly the right moment in time in order to remind me how to deepen my communion with my own soul. I can’t recommend Intimate Conversations with the Divine highly enough. Caroline has offered us a true gift that couldn’t be more needed at this time in our history.
Caroline is giving all of us exactly what we need to nourish our courage and embolden our embattled hope-a book on prayer that is not only a mystical classic but direct guidance as to how to align, nakedly and passionately, with the Divine from the most authentic part of ourselves. This book is far more than a masterpiece-it is a blazing manifesto of Truth and Empowerment which no sincere lover of God can afford not to read, learn from, and integrate profoundly.
In this honest and unique spiritual diary, Caroline Myss invites us to a daring journey into the inner truth of our deepest selves… Myss shares with us a deeply personal glimpse into her own mystical soul and-if we listen deeply-into our own… In a time of religious deconstruction, Myss dares to reconstruct. She calls us to the deeper meaning and practice of prayer-one that will serve us well in these challenging times.
Sometimes I feel as if I go through the day barely able to see, unable to hear, saying things I don’t really mean. A lost human being in a sea of other stressed-out, disconnected people. What to do? I’ll tell you what to do: read this book! It clears a path through the dark woods of our times. Caroline Myss says that the true meaning of prayer is a request for help in how to see. Reading Intimate Conversations with the Divine gave me new sight, opened my ears, and helped me say beautiful, meaningful, powerful new prayers.
Caroline Myss beautifully succeeds in awakening the lost language of prayer, a holy language that our world needs as never before. Her prayers are flashes of her intimacies with the divine… It is always brave to share the intimacy of the messages hidden in silence. When this courage is matched by true gentleness, the effect is powerful healing; her prayers will heal sick souls. Caroline’s evident care for others and her spirit of service will make this book a true friend and companion for those in need at every step of their life’s journey.
Once again, Caroline Myss lights the way, showing us how the epidemics of this time must ultimately be addressed at the level of the soul… This is prayer with power and energy-the power to breathe and instill life; the energy of unconditional love that opens us up so that we once again feel that which most nourishes and ultimately heals.
In this book Caroline Myss invites us to listen in as she prays to the Lord her God. As we listen, we realize she is encouraging us to speak to the Lord Our God of all the expected and unexpected things our heart wants us to say. And, as our own voice falls silent, to then listen to the still small voice of God that is always there guiding and sustaining us in each passing moment of our lives.
What is the prayer you most need to pray in your life? Do you know how it begins? In Intimate Conversations with the Divine, Caroline Myss teaches you a whole new way to pray. Praying with God, not to God. Filled with 100 beautiful prayers-holy moments of divine intimacy-this mystical handbook helps you cultivate a practice of daily deep prayer that invites a whole new level of guidance, grace, and inspiration into your life.
Intimate Conversations with the Divine shows us that prayer isn’t some esoteric activity reserved for a holy few; it’s a language we are born knowing. These pages will encourage anyone who has lost the habit of daily prayer to take it up again, and inspire anyone who has never prayed to start the conversation now.
