A Journey into God is one of four books by Delia Smith on the subject of Christian spirituality, the others being A Journey into Prayer, A Feast for Lent and A Feast for Advent. Delia journeys into God painfully aware of her own lack of recipes. She takes the apophatic approach, describing God as what he is not: he is not ‘the Life-Stifler God’, nor ‘the God of Fear and Anxiety’ nor ‘the Cuddly-Bear God’ nor ‘the God of the Well-Informed’.
