Can you help me figure out what book this is?

Hi,
So a few years ago I remember reading a great book by a Catholic author about how to discern the voice of God. I cannot recall the title or the author and I was hoping maybe to get some help here. In the book the author talked about how during prayer when we are intensely focused on Christ in prayer, it is likened to soaring on a bird (??) of some sort (not sure what sort of bird was mentioned). He continued to explain that after we end our prayer time and disconnect (so to speak) from the direct connection, we still feel the soaring effects that we felt during prayer but that it is likened to the descent back to our everyday living experiences. The author explained that it is during that time that Satan will try to deceive us hoping that we may think we are hearing God's voice. The author said to be on the lookout for the tail of the snake to make its appearance after a truly powerful spiritual connection to be able to discern the voice we hear.

So, does this sound familiar to anyone here?? I wish I could remember something about the title or author's name.

Thanks!!!

I do recall that it was a male author and it had an old fashioned feel to it (style of writing that is)....so not the first book. I checked the link of the second one and it doesn't ring a bell. Thanks for responding, Michie. This is going to drive me crazy until I can figure it out....I've tried googling some of the book's subject hoping it would pull the book up...no luck.

Could this be the book:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]How to Listen When God Is Speaking: A Guide for Modern-day Catholics (Book)[/FONT]

How to Listen When God Is Speaking: A Guide for Modern-day Catholics (Book) : Ignatius Productions - A Teaching Apostolate of Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J.

Edit:
I just noticed that Michie already suggested this book.

Not exactly sure. Sounds like something from Thomas A. Kempis
