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 or as long a weekend. He provides a “retreat in a book”. The nine, 2-hour, self-contained sessions require only a commitment of time and self on the part of the “retreatant” to experience. “Many of us”, says DelBene, “find it extremely difficult to be alone with God because we’re nor sure what to do and have no idea what to expect…there is no reason to be afraid of drawing closer to God who is love”.
