Leadership Today - November 1988
Most of us spend far too much time rushing around and far too little time reflecting upon what God is saying to us through all the activities we are drawn into. A growing number of christians have revived the spiritual discipline of journalling - at its simplest, that's just keeping a note of the things God says to us when we take time to stop and listen. There are 11 contributors, including Jenny Cooke, Jennifer Rees Larcombe, Anne Long, Sister Margaret Magdalen and Luci Shaw - the women appear to have more time than the men! They highlight different aspects of this method for deepening your spiritual life. It's well worth reading and well worth trying.
Redemption - January 1989
To be let in on the secrets of how leading Christian men and women keep their spiritual journals is a pure delight. It's a chance to find more ways to widen your own recordings of your spiritual journey. Even for those who never liked writing essays at school, there comes a time when someting of importance is written down - a love letter, a thank-you note, a dream that seemed significant, a poem or a note from a meaningful sermon, quotable quotes. These are all parts of a spiritual journal ... and the growth of our spirit towards God is evident as we read back over the entries of months and years gone by. Answers to prayer, reasons why things happened, the goodness of God in all aspects of our lives can come to light through the pages of our journals.
