Attentive to God: Being Aware of God's Presence in Daily Life
"We all know how easy it is to lose concentration and let our attention wander. In the middle of talking to a friend, you suddenly realise you have not been listening at all and have lost the thread of the conversation because you were miles away. It happens so easily, and far too frequently, this problem of inattentiveness. This also happens in the spiritual life. God speaks to us but we fail to recognise his voice. He has things to teach us, but our minds are elsewhere and we are not attuned to his whisper. He wants to lead us and guide us, but we miss his gentle promptings. He is present all around us, yet we don't notice his approach or register his nearness. This robs us of a greater depth in our relationship with him. The purpose of this book is to help you become more consistently aware of God, to train your ear to hear his voice, and your eye to see what he is doing. I am a learner just as you are, and I have my own struggles with spiritual attentiveness, but I want to grow and improve so that I can serve God more eectively. I'm sure you do as well, which is why you are reading this book." - from the Introduction
