The Alluring Voice of God: Forming Daily Encounters

Written in everyday language for Catholics who may be questioning their faith, The Alluring Voice of God: Forming Daily Encounters invites readers to experience God’s voice in their prayers.

With a special emphasis for young adults and teenagers, author Carrell Jamilano brings her experiences and spirit to life in this new 158-page paperback from Liguori Publications. 

A TV Host, writer, and spiritual director who has led youth and young-adult ministries, Jamilano addresses questions like: 

• Is God really listening?

• What is God calling me to do?

• Where is God in my life right now?

• How do I distinguish God’s voice?

Advance reviewers say that Jamilano answers those questions and more, allowing readers to discover Christ within themselves.

“Jamilano reminds us God seeks relationship with us in all places, usual and unusual alike,” said Jeffrey Marlett, PhD, professor of religious studies at The College of St. Rose, Albany, NY. “She offers practical advice to start and maintain a prayer life that alerts readers to God’s abundant and sustaining love.”

The author’s experiences serving teens in ministry comes through in the book's clear and simple presentation, said Lisa Mladinich, author and founder of Wonderfullymade139.com. 

“With great vulnerability and compassion for the real-life struggles of young people, The Alluring Voice of God is a precious resource for individual or group use,” Mladinich said. “It is packed with authentic teaching and powerful questions that will ignite a deeper conversation with God in all who read it.” 

Although the book is written with a younger audience in mind, Catholic readers of every age will find answers and find God in all things, said Pamela Hedrick, PhD, St. Joseph’s College of Maine.

“All people who want to deepen and revitalize their relationship with God will richly benefit from finding a place for this book on their bookshelf and in their heart,” Hedrick said. “I wish this book had been available when I was a young Catholic!”

With a suggested retail price of $14.99, the new book is now available directly from the publisher at Liguori.org and from other book sellers. For more information call 800-325-9521.
