The reason for obtaining this book was similar to that of the book "Keeping a Spiritual Journal" As a person embarking on a journey to become a Priest I need to keep a Spiritual Journal. Such a Journal helps me to see and check that I am progressing, Developing as a person spiritually. This book is about the praxis of Journaling. I knew about keeping a journal the why but not really the how. It is easy to say write down your thoughts and feeling any spontaneous prayers or set prayers form prayer books and songs. However when you have limited space you need to be organised disciplined and succinct. This book lays out the process needed to keep a spiritual journal successfully and to be able to do so in a way which allows you to use it in the future for reflection.

Outstanding Resource for Christian Journaling!
26 July 2002
Format:Paperback
If you are looking for a book to provide guidelines for Christian journaling, your search will end with reading this work by Luann Budd. This devout Christian and minister's wife shares valuable insights gleaned from years of journaling. Her book is an easy, enjoyable read.
Budd begins by making a case for effective journaling. She covers organization, direction, and preparation. After having made her case for the necessity of journaling, she moves to the bulk of her work, the process of journaling itself. She elaborates on various methods, one of which will surely appeal to every reader. She closes with some practical tips on putting all the knowledge presented into practice. She also adds three helpful appendices: fifty journaling possibilities, a brief list of Bible studies, and a substantial bibliography of books on journaling and other closely related issues.
I recommend this book enthusiastically to anyone wanting a practical guide for Christian journaling. My sole complaint is that the volume is not available in a hardback edition. Before you start your journaling, read this book and benefit from a wealth of training!

Been waiting a long time for this book!
9 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
I'm amazed at the number of women in my church whom I consider role models who are also women who journal.
But I was hesitant to start my own personal journal: how to organize, what to write, what do I write to make it "work", how does it contribute to the personal and spiritual growth of these strong, faithful, active and peaceful women?

Luann Budd answers these questions and more. There are so MANY ways to journal!! She gives ideas for how to organize my journal but no pressure to do it "her" way. She actually has a few different ways she organizes her own journal. Incentives to journal are clear and easy-to-understand and addressed right in the beginning of the book. There are many journal styles also.
My girlfriend and I are reading this book together. She has been keeping journals for quite a while. So she dwells on the chapters of "types of journaling" for a few weeks at a time -- to try new and different things. I'm new to this so I read it through quickly and marked the things that appealed to me, inspired me, etc. On this second time through I'm actually trying one of Luann's methods! I'm writing quotes from the books to the pages of my journal; then I add my thoughts on why I like them or the thoughts they bring to my mind. She's right; it's a great way to take any book (Bible, spiritual growth, secular) to a deeper level, to make the reading more rich.
I see a few other styles I would also like to try. Thank you Luann! I consider this book a must-have for a one's personal/spiritual growth library and should be a book in every church's library. There are women who like to write that need a book to get them started and women who journal that need some fresh new ways to journal!!

The Best Book I Have Bought This Year!
30 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
I bought this book not knowing for sure what its content would be like. After the first page I knew that I was going to love this one. I have journaled for 6 years yet this book inspired me to try journaling in different ways. It showed me how specifically to journal to help myself learn more about myself and draw closer to God. This is an absolute read for anyone interested in writing in a more meaningful way.
