"A PROMISE OF PRESENCE will enhance your ongoing intimacy with God as you grow in awareness of God's wonderful presence within you and all around you."

At the heart of Christian spirituality is the belief that God's infinite presence permeates all of creation. At the same time, God also seeks an intimate, personal relationship with each individual. Bridget Mary Meehan and Regina M. Oliver have composed fifty-two reflections illuminating this concept and exploring its implications for everyday life. Each of their reflections begins with a Scripture passage and focuses on a topic or theme that is essential to spiritual life and one's awareness of God.

Each reflection is followed by a seven-day prayer guide that provides clear directions for a week of creative, enriching prayer activities. The reflections and prayer activities can be followed from start to finish for a fifty-two week period, or selected in any order to fit personal needs, feeling and life situations.

The authors hope that each reflection and its prayer activities will help people "respond to the divine whispers in their souls, discover their own vision and make the world a better place, following the way of the prophets and saints of old."

Bridget Mary Meehan is a popular speaker and the author of eighteen books, including The Healing Power of Prayer, Exploring the Feminine Face of God and Praying with Women of the Bible.

Regina M. Oliver has co-authored four books with Bridget Mary Meehan: Heart Talks with Mother of God, Affirmations from the Heart of God, Praying with a Passionate Heart, and Promise of Presence.
