Editor Susanna Wright offers this updated edition of a Christian devotional classic—invoking the daily prayers and timeless imagery of the original text through modern, accessible language.In this wonderful collection, famed theologian Dr. John Baillie shares personal prayers for people who are seeking a better understanding of God and themselves. Organized by morning and evening—with special prayers for Sundays— A Diary of Private Prayer is written with eloquence, piety, and directness. Blending praise and meditative thoughts about God with a concern for the social and individual good, these daily invocations help and inspire us to search our inner selves and find the deep religious beliefs that lie within.First published in 1936, A Diary of Private Prayer remains a seminal Christian devotional with more than a million copies in print. This modern edition—completely redesigned into a gift package—admirably preserves all the qualities of the original, ensuring that the wisdom of God and the wonder of Baillie’s prayers remain accessible for many generations to come.

Gifford Lectures.
In this little book a Christian theologian presents the grounds of his own beliefs in such a way as to make clear the nature of the constraint they exercise over him. The grounds of unbelief are similarly subjected to careful analysis, and special attention is given to the point at which the two ways diverge - one leading to full participation in the life of the Christian fellowship, the other to increasing detachment from it.

Dr. Baillie, in this book, has selected 365 readings from the main stream of devotional writing, one for each day of the year. These are chosen for their value in stimulating serious thought and contemplation and are not the trite, familiar sayings that one usually associates with anthologies. A few readings are poems and each reading is contained within a page with the thought complete in itself. Ranging from early church figures such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, through Luther, Erasmus, à Kempis, Kierkegaard, to Brunner, Niebuhr, and Tillich of our day, 183 authors are represented.
