ReviewsWhen this book was first published almost one hundred years ago it was quickly recognised as a classic of devotional writing, and I'm delighted that Susanna Wright is now making it available and accessible to a new generation of readers seeking resources to help them grow in prayer., Prayer is the language of faith. Like any other language, the best way to learn it is to listen to native speakers and practice. In this book, the beginner will find ideas, words and patterns that will help to guide and grow their own prayer life; and those who have been praying for longer will find fresh inspiration. But most importantly, all who use this book will draw closer to the God who came to speak to us in our language so that we may learn his., Susanna Wright has done contemporary Christians a great service by making John's Baillie's classic available and accessible to a new generation. The prayers in this book will deepen, enrich and transform anyone who prays them seriously., The Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie sold over a million copies and blessed many Christians over the last century. This contemporary version will open it up to a new generation and will be a great aid to prayer for those starting out on their prayer lives as well as to long standing Christians., This new edition of John Baillie's classic is a wonderful resource for anyone wishing to go deeper in their prayer life. The beauty of language, depth of meaning and scope of subject is extraordinary. I recommend this new edition to all who wish to see their daily prayer life expanded and blessed., "The adjective "venerable" ought be reserved for those classics that have stood the test of generations. John Baillie's "A Diary of Private Prayer" has surely earned this title. This classic of Christian spirituality has been in constant use since its publication in 1949. Thousands of men and women have found comfort, wisdom and challenge in Baillie's prayers, rendered utterly without pretense. My own dog-eared copy of the "Diary" has been a companion since college days. But even the most ardent fan of this classic has longed for an edition that speaks with a fresh, contemporary voice, precisely the voice Baillie employed in his own time. We can be grateful to Susanna Wright for the respect with which she has handled Baillie's prayers, and the reverence with which she ushers us into the presence of God. If it is ever proper to speak of a new classic - and one surely should do so only with great care - it is possible to speak of Wright's new edition of John Baillie's "Diary."', Since its initial publication in 1936, The Diary of Private Prayer has become established as a modern spiritual classic. Now translated into several languages, it has become the best-selling work of any Scottish theologian. The Diary's breadth of subject matter, felicity of language, and simple piety have impressed its many readers at different times and in diverse circumstances. This updated edition admirably preserves all these qualities while ensuring that John Baillie's Diary will continue to be accessible to another generation.

Beautiful in Every Way. A Book to Treasure and Read Daily.
Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie is a beautiful book. It was originally published in 1939. There are a month's worth of daily prayers, one for the morning and one for the evening. It will help keep your mind and spirit connected to Gods Love and Greatness. It helps to stays focused on being humble, thankful, and make the best use of the day in a spiritual way, and keeping deep and thoughtful relationships with others in the way God wants us to be. These beautiful morning and evening prayers help in getting inwardly focused on what you want to be toward others, what you want to see in others as well as yourself, and what you want to build in your spiritual life and the meaning it has. The prayers are so meaningful and beautiful. They will change the way you approach every day and the focus you give things. It will likely help in developing a closer relationship with God and his Love. As seen in other reviews, it is such a beautiful book that you will likely want to share it as a gift to friends and family and keep close to you every day. With all the superficiality of the world today, this book brings you back to a quiet time with God and reflects on what is truly important in daily life. Here a beautiful excerpt from the First Day (Morning) prayer by author, John Baillie: "Oh God, who hast been the Refuge of my father’s through many generations, be my Refuge today in every time and circumstance of need. Be my Guide through all that is dark and doubtful. Be my Guard against all that threatens my spirit’s welfare. Be my Strength in time of testing. Gladden my heart with Thy Peace; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen." Third Day (Evening) "....And in my heart’s most secret chamber Thou art now waiting to meet and speak with me, freely offering me Thy fellowship in spite of all my sinning. Let me now avail myself of this open road to peace of min. Let me approach Thy presence humbly and reverently. Let me carry with me the spirit of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ. Let me leave behind me all fretfulness, all unworthy desires, all thoughts of malice towards my fellow men, all hesitancy in surrendering my will to Thine. In Thy will, O Lord, is my peace. In Thy love is my rest. In Thy service is my joy. Thou art all my heart’s desire. Whom have I in heaven but Thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides Thee...."

Helpful guide to praying
This book is an updated version of the Diary of Private Prayer written by John Baillie in the 1930s. It has a month's prayers, morning and evening that are very helpful in guiding a person to pray about a number of different things each day. I don't usually use prayers composed by someone else, but find these prayers helpful in guiding my thoughts. The print is easy to read, there is a ribbon bound into the book that makes it easy to mark the day you're on. There are a couple of Sunday prayers at the end of the book that can be used on Sunday instead of the prayers offered for one of the numbered days 1-31. I bought a couple of extras to share with friends.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Perfect and Profound Prayerbook
I have used the older version of this book for years. This is an updated version and beautifully done. It has a ribbon, a very nice feature, too. The book is a tremendous source of inspiration and fruit for meditation. Oftentimes books have the same information but the flow of words is very important to me. This can really bring one close to Christ and nothing finer can be said about a book to me. The readings for morning and evening are just one page. What a beautiful way to begin and end one's day!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
