Cutomer review:
Thomas Green, SJ, was one of the most beloved and most accessible of all the modern Catholic spiritual writers. Experiencing God is 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.

Author of My Life with Saints
Experiencing God offers a very readable synthesis of Thomas Green’s 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 works to articulate how to move forward in that mysterious reality we call prayer.
