      Synopsis

      Uplifting and anecdotal in nature, this nondenominational guide teaches people how to have a two-way conversation with God by offering examples of how to listen to His voice and how to respond with real words and sentences. It challenges people to listen to the voice of God in their everyday lives and to understand that they can hold conversations with God on a daily basis. Outlining a simple, easy-to-learn technique, this book stresses that anyone can listen to God-He doesn't just talk to religious leaders like cardinals, rabbis, and ministers. For those seeking clear, understandable answers or the spiritually curious, this book offers real-world examples of how to have a more personal relationship with God.

      Author Biography: Katharine C. Giovanni is the author of The Concierge Manual and has published articles on spirituality and how to hear God's voice. She lives in Apex, North Carolina.

      January 22, 2003: Review: God, is that You? By Katharine C. Giovanni An avid appreciator of the works of Gregg Braden (The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy portrays marvelous insight into the operations of this universe) and Sophy Burnham (The Path of Prayer: Reflections on Prayer and True Stories of How it Affects our Lives shows the depth of our need to connect with God), I found Katharine Giovanni?s book, God, is that You?, splendidly down-to-earth.==== The joy in reading different styles of writing lies in one?s ability to glean meaningful and personally applicable concepts through slightly altered perspectives. Katharine?s book reminds each of us that every individual remains important to our Creator. It grandly opens the door to connection by reminding the reader that any and all types of communication with God are appreciated. This presents an ?everyday? approach to prayer where we can ?talk? to God without fear and in so doing, we discover that indeed, we are not alone. Her own reflections and those of others in the text bring our emotions and a sense of humility into play. These feelings allow us to remove the barriers that we ourselves have created ? ideas on when and how to pray ? and the method of free-writing a conversation with God, I suspect, will warmly surprise anyone who undertakes this prayer quest.==== Marc Gafni, the learned author of Soul Prints, suggests that ?God loves a story?.let us be the heroes of our own.? In Ms. Giovanni?s book, we are asked to renew our very personal connection to our loving God. As simplistic as this might sound, the results prove extraordinary. One might find the use of writing questions odd in light of the omniscience of God, but free will explains the freedoms given to man. In addition, writing questions to God allows us to focus our thoughts. Once the door to this magnificent experience of unity is open, you will have succeeded in making yourself available to new possibilities. What more generous love could exist than that of a ?creator? who wants his creations to also have that power over their own lives. - Becky Ruff

      August 18, 2002: Whether you are already in the daily practice of praying, or conversing with God, or want to begin, you will delight in this book. It is easy to read, easy to understand, and full of beautiful examples of real-life people putting this into practice. Once you read it, you will want to practice daily conversations with God yourself. For me, the best part was remembering to stop asking and talking during my prayer time and remembering to listen. I now hear God's voice more readily, even when I don't think I am listening. You will enjoy reading this book the first time and then want to keep it in sight because you'll want to read it over and over again.
