Keeping a spiritual journal is a discipline that thousands of Christians have benefited from over the centuries, and this beautifully presented volume provides an ideal opportunity for anyone to either discover or renew the practice.

The book is spiral bound , which makes it very user-friendly for writing as it lies flat when open rather than attempting to spring closed. Each day of the week is introduced with a selected Bible verse on the theme of love, taken from a variety of translations including the CEV, NIV, NKJV, NRSV and Eugene Peterson's The Message.

Weekdays and Saturdays have half a page for journalling whilst most Sundays have a full page available, with a colour photograph of a natural scene and a quote about love from a spiritual writer (Henry Ward Beecher, C S Lewis, John Ruskin, St Francis de Sales and John Wesley, to name but a few) to start or end each week.

Whether you're thinking of keeping your own spiritual journal or looking for a gift for someone else, with this book your search is at an end — or, more to the point, is just about to begin!
