Personal Retreat Resources

Wanting some help figuring out what to do for a half-multiple day personal retreat or time away with God? We’ve gathered a few books, guides and other resources in the hope of facilitating a renewing time interacting with God and enjoying His presence.

Books:

• Invitation to Retreat by Ruth Haley Barton

This book guides the reader through an exploration of retreat. At the end of each chapter, there are practical thought provoking questions that could be used to prepare for a retreat or to reflect on during a retreat.

• Sacred Pathways by Gary L. Thomas
