all who are called in their individual and communal lives to
discern what God's will is in very concrete terms. Those facing
major decisions in their lives will find special assistance and
blessing in this extraordinary book.
This is a book that uncomplicates prayer for both the beginner and
the experienced prayer. "Opening to God" is a unique combination of
fundamentals, fully grounded in the tradition of the Christian
mystics, plus a wealth of "today" insights into what is really
involved in laying the foundations of a genuine life of prayer.
Green's book is a milestone, a beautiful blend of our Christian
heritage with the very best of today's practical experience and
spontaneity.
This new edition by popular Jesuit spiritual director Thomas Green,
S.J., synthesizes the spiritual counsel of classic Christian
writers for a new generation thirsty for God. With almost 200,000
copies in print in twelve languages, When the Well Runs Dry builds
on Green's classic and best-selling primer on prayer, Opening to
God. In this proven and popular roadmap for those digging deeper
into the mystery of prayer, he skillfully coaxes readers to
re-examine their perspectives on prayer. Prayer, he teaches, has
less to do with what they do or know, and more to do with what God
does in them.

Most people think of God's will as something to be found or as the
receiving of guidance from God when making decisions. Too often,
however, the problem is not that we don't know what God desires for
our lives, but rather that we just don't want to do what we already
know he wants. How might our wills be changed so that we become
both willing and able to do what God asks of us? In Desiring God's
Will psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner explores
the transformation of the will in Christian spirituality. He
examines why our desires are disordered and how our human volition
can be brought into alignment with God's intentions so that we
willingly choose that which God wants for us. In so doing, Benner
shows us that cultivating discernment and being attuned to God's
desires is the path to true life, spiritual health and freedom. God
wants to change our choosing, not just our choices. By aligning our
hearts with God's, we will find liberation from the kingdom of self
and instead experience the joy of the kingdom of God. This expanded
edition, one of three titles in The Spiritual Journey trilogy,
includes a new epilogue and an experiential guide with questions
for individual reflection or group discussion.
