Immersed in God: Josemaria Escriva, Founder of Opus Dei As Seen by His Successor, Bishop Alvaro Del Portillo

In The Best SEO Checklist

This book is well worth its price. It brings to life Blessed Josemaria Escriva through the eyes of the man who was at his side for over 40 years. When reading the writings of Escriva one feels that they are indeed pious things to reach for, but this book shows that Escriva actually practiced what he preached.

How apt the title of the work is: Immersed in God. It paints a true picture of who Escriva was. Everything that he did, he referred to God. When reading this book you will discover this. When they had games to guess a number in the Father’s head, it would always be either 3 or a multiplication of 3, in honor of the Holy Trinity. When he used to read the newspaper, he would be praying for all the people and events to the Lord. When he would greet someone he would first mentally greet his or her guardian angel. He would always give up a better seat for someone else. He was a man who used every moment of his life as a sacrifice to offer to God. He was indeed a saint-he is the definition of one. Read this work--you will find yourself imitating him.
