Offers advice on how to keep a journal that will reflect one's growth, meditations, and feelings, with tips from such diarists as C. S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Thomas Merton
This is one of six books I reread every year. I have read dozens of books on journaling and journals of important people. Nothing even comes close to this book on how to go about the process, maintain the process. Even if you don't keep a journal for spiritual reasons this book is still the best I have found. Every time I read it I get new ideas and little tweaks on how to improve what I do. There are just layers of good stuff here no matter what your skills in journaling are.
This revised edition of a thorough guide offers steps for anyone interested in keeping a spiritual journal, from recommendations for notebooks to ways to work through common frustrations and writer's block. Ron Klug relies on his experience as a workshop leader, journal keeper, and author to create a book that is both helpful and wise.
