spiritual direction

Alone with God was written especially for those people who want to feel closer to God, but don't know how to go about it. DelBene outlines a step-by-step plan for being alone with God for as little as an hour a day or as long as a weekend. He provides a "retreat in a book.".

Written to encourage lay people, sisters and priests to confidently use their gifts to become spiritual directors to others.

The work of spiritual direction is helping people to develop their relationship with God.

Presents practical guidance for spiritual directors - especially how to recognize and deal with the difficulties which surface.

"Over forty years ago," writes Father Kelsey, "I began my own attempt to be open to God and allow the Holy One to take part in my life. Over thirty years ago I came in touch with some guides on this journey and found some ways of opening myself to God's incredible love ... It takes courage to set out on the spiritual journey, but it takes even more courage to accept the responsibility of walking along with another once we have really known the dangers ourselves.".
