Customer Reviews

Great resource when you want to get serious about your faith...

I have purchased several of these books to share with family and friends. The first chapters give such a great understanding of the how to's, relevance and effectiveness of sincere prayer. Then there are 30 days of "sample prayers" which can be repeated indefinitely throughout the year, which incorporate scripture, making this the ultimate in "efficient quiet time" --praying and reading great Bible passages simultaneously. Enjoy!

Personal prayer

Prayer can be a life changing event. Dr. Ogilvie really explains the life style of Prayer and praising God. Prayer is more than a list of gimmes, it is also praising God and telling Him of your love for Him.

Sage Advice

Lloyd Ogilvie has been a pilar of wisdom and support for people across the globe for 40 + years. This book will force you to examine your prayer life, and it will change the way you view your relationship with God. This is not a formula for better prayer, or the current rage, health and wealth gospel. Dr. Ogilvie challenges us to memorize scripture, using the words the apostles and prophets used to talk to God. This is effective. After having the chance to meet Dr. Ogilvie in person, I know his heart is one of someone who is seeking after God. This book is sage advice, Dr. Ogilvie is a humble man of God who has sage wisdom. I recommend this book, and hearing Dr. Ogilvie preach in person. You will not be dissapointed.

Wonderful insight! At times uplifting, other times uncanny!

While browsing in a lower Manhattan book store in 1997, this book completely captivated my attention in such a way, I just had to take it with me; I immediately began reading it. I loved it, the style, the conversations sometimes gave me "goosebumps", feeling as if I, myself, was in the presence of God; sometimes feelings of euphoria, sometimes quiet contentment, sometimes even laughing out loud. I could relate so much of myself, my life; it was just uncanny. I read it constantly, "eating it up" as the saying goes,..you can learn so much from someone else's experience; it was so uplifting, the teachings are wonderful; I kept re-reading several of the conversations over and over again, enjoying them so much more the second time. Then, one evening I left it in the ladies room at my job and someone picked it up immediately. I was devastated but thought that perhaps that person needed help and would definitely receive it from these conversations . I have found other books with the same title, but they are not the same. I have been looking for Mr. Ogilvie's Conversations with God ever since, not just to finish reading it but also to keep it in my home library so that I can read it again and again and yet, again; that's how much I enjoyed it. Thank you for helping me find it again!.

Wonderful Brain Food!

I can't imagine that anyone could read this and not be inspired to examine thier understanding of God and our purpose on this plane. For me this book feels like an instruction manual for beings on the planet earth
