Product Description
In this book of personal devotions, Dr. Baillie inspires a deep searching of one's inner life through prayer by writing each prayer so that it seems to have been written specifically for the reader. In his understanding of the aspects of God's relation to man and man's relation to God through prayer, Dr. Baillie intermingles adoration, meditation, and intercession with a strong sense of the importance of social needs, as well as the needs of the individual.

I had read snippits from "A Diary of Private Prayer" by John Baillie for several years and finally decided to get this little book which was first published in 1937. I was amazed at his deep prayer disciplines for morning and evening prayers for each day of the month. They are written with such depth and honesty that I was drawn into them.
It is also good to note that this work comes alongside that of C. S. Lewis and Dietrich Bonhoeffer as they confronted the darkness of WWII and Adolph Hitler.
The reader may want to track down an out of print book written in 1955 titled "A Diary of Readings". This diary shows clearly that the depths of "A Diary of Private Prayer" equipped Baillie to gather 365 gems of faith and wisdom from across the ages.

These are some of the most beautiful, humble, and practical prayers I've ever seen. The author tells you up front that they are not to be used in place of your own prayers, but instead are meant to inspire. He prays about things that few today even consider. The book is written in the elegant style of old english, but is not as difficult as King James english. If you want to revolutionize your praying, get this book. You get a morning and evening prayer for 31 days, plus two bonus prayers for Sunday. Also, be sure to get a copy of John Baillie's companion volume "A Diary of Readings."
