Alone With God

By Ron DelBene, Herb Montgomery, Mary Montgomery, et al.

Book Overview

Many of us find it difficult to be alone with God because we are not sure what to do and have no idea what to expect...there is no reason to be afraid of drawing closer to the God who is love. Alone with God was written especially for people who have the desire to spend time alone with God and to be more attentive to God's presence in their lives but do not have a practical sense of how to begin. Drawing on his background as a spiritual leader and retreat leader, Ron DelBene has a format for personal retreats that is flexible enough to be used in a two-hour block of time or expanded to as many as eight hours. He explains each part of the retreat format in detail, providing a thorough understanding of what is to take place and how best to put it into practice. Twelve retreats explore different themes, such as Seeking Forgiveness, Overcoming Anxiety, Called to Serve, Freedom - all designed to guide participants through their time alone with God.

Customer Reviews

A great companion on the Christian journey

Ron Del Bene provides a simple structure for reading a passage of the gospel each week and making connections to your daily life. He invites you to be the coauthor of your own book on the Christian journey of deepening faith. I used this book as a discussion guide with a small group over a period of six weeks. Each week we were drawn into a prayerful contemplation of a gospel text. The book is a great companion on the Christian journey whether you use it by yourself or, as I did, with a group.
