Alone With God

A Guide for Personal Retreats

Plot

This book teaches us to pray the scriptures. Each week, participants read and pray together a single scripture story during the group session. Then, each participant is invited to read and pray that same scripture daily during the coming week. Participants will probably spend 20-30 minutes, daily with God's Word - in a "time to slow your pace and listen more closely to what God is saying to you."

Individual daily scripture readings, meditations, and prayers for thirty days based on the six weekly themes. Scriptures explored include the good Samaritan, the woman caught in adultery, and Mony's visit to Elizabeth.

12 specific retreats, with each one exploring a different theme--Seeking Forgiveness, Overcoming Anxiety, Called to Serve, among others.

Each daily format includes
- a prayer, centering time, and a brief quote from the Psalms
- the scripture passage for the week
- a time for reflection and response
- an opportunity to repspond inwardly to God's Word
