Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0806627344, Paperback)

In this new edition of a popular classic, the Scottish poet and novelist George MacDonald (1824-1905) offers prayer for each day of the year. Seemingly simple, the poetic prayers spring from a deep understanding of the personal relationship between God and the individual Christian. "The whole," MacDonald's son remarked, "is a record of a life's rather than a year's religious thought."

Colin Duriez, an authority on C.S. Lewis--who regarded his debt to MacDonald inestimable--writes in the introduction that The Diary "represents a true Christian mysticism, combining a desire for oneness with God with an essentially bright, clear vision that has captivated readers since the book appeared."
