A Diary of Private Prayer ~ A Devotional Classic ~ by John Baillie
This is an absolute gem of a book. A friend from high school recommended it to me, and I have loved every day I've read in it. Unlike most devotionals, it is prayer alone for the beginning and end of each day. Thirty one entries for each, plus a morning and evening for Sundays. There are no stories, no commentary on Scripture, life and relationships, etc. except as applies to praying for guidance and forgiveness according to the the Word. It directs my heart and mind to the essentials of a day before I start it, and ends with true examination of what the day past has held. Wonderful, wonderful book. It's one I'll be keeping with my Bible and Journal for a long time.
