    Product Description

    Retreats are increasingly popular, and in stressful and anxious times, perhaps the need to refocus our lives on what will nurture and sustain us inwardly is greater than ever. The 'credit crunch' may mean that staying at a retreat centre is unaffordable, family or work commitments make it impossible for some to get away, and the housebound have little choice about where they will pursue their spiritual journey. This simple resource offers a complete kit for making a seven day retreat without going away. It is both gentle and versatile, recognising that some can only grab ten minutes' solitude on the way to work or when the children are asleep, while others have more time on their hands than they would like. Penny Roker, a religious sister and experienced retreat conductor, provides a complete day by day programme using the seven days of creation as a pattern, plus many hints and tips for making the most of the time given to yourself and to God.

    At Home With God

    While a quiet time at home can only be ‘second best’ (the author’s own words) to the experience of a retreat away, this slender book should help anybody who recognises ‘the need for a short period of withdrawal from responsibility and the distractions of everyday life’, but who is just not able, for any of a variety of reasons, to get away on retreat. After an introduction containing useful hints about preparation and some ‘dos and don’ts’, each of the book’s 15 chapters focuses on one individual in the Gospels. From them, we learn that God is not far off, but ‘within our reach’. Along with her thoughtful reflection on the Bible passage, Penny Roker proposes areas for the reader’s own personal reflection, with topics for intercessory prayer and ideas for activity. It’s not a book to rush through. Take it a section at a time, and by the end you will feel as if you’ve traveled a long way on a worthwhile journey. Next time, you may wish to move heaven and earth actually to get away on retreat!
