Do you feel that there should be something more to life than what you're experiencing? Do you wonder what you can do to make your relationship with God more satisfying? In 'The Hunger of the Heart', Ron DelBene responds to these questions that are in the hearts of so many people today. In his well-known and well-loved style of sharing personal, real-life stories in his writing, the author issues a call to spiritual growth to all persons - regardless of where they are in their spiritual journeys. DelBene describes fourteen stages of spiritual development, using the image of a tree's growth, rather than the typical ladder image for Christian growth. Based on the experiences of thousands of people he has met and counseled, these stage descriptions serve as guidelines for making sense of the yearnings, doubts, anger, and wonder that enter every Christian's life.

The Alone with God Workbook 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. The Alone with God Workbook contains 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 Mary's visit to Elizabeth. Each daily format includes * a prayer * centering time * a brief quote from the Psalms * the scripture passage for the week * a time for reflection and response * an opportunity to respond inwardly to God's Word
