Conversation between God and Man - G Venkataraman (2009)

The book presents Bhagawat Gita in a conversation like tone. The style is lucid, the language is very much contemporary without a lot of emphasis on the correctness of content. It's more like reading a gist of Bhagawat Gita meant for the people of 21st century. To some people the presentation may feel very simple and some may find the language very curt at places. However, overall it's a great read. The last chapter in the book is devoted to messages of Bhagwan Satya Sai Baba and similarities of his messages to that of Bhagawat Gita If you are not a disciple of Sai Baba, you may find that chapter a bit rhetoric.

Overall a recommended read.
