God Calling journal

I've mentioned my favorite daily meditation book, God Calling, the book on which our Twenty-Four Hour a Day book is fashioned. We were at the bookstore last night and as I looked in the poetry section, my s/o mogged around the religion section and found me a gift. It's the God Calling Daily Devotional Journal.

It is a lovely leather book with gold leaf. It has the daily reading, space to write one's thoughts about the reading, and a Bible promise to go with it. I've used the God Calling devotional for many years, having stumbled across it somehow in my many spiritual travels in bookstores and it's simply, to me, the best devotional around. Recalling that it was written in the 1930s and edited by someone other than the two "listeners," some of the readings may require several readings to fully grasp their meaning. It's worth it, though, because the beautiful comfort found in the pages of God Calling surpasses most of the daily readings I see on bookshelves today.

It's available at http://www.barbourbooks.com/ if you can't find it anywhere else. I highly recommend it.
