Spiritual Journaling is a definitive exploration of spiritual enlightenment that helps develop a renewed spiritual emphasis in one's life. The author says, Wake up, write down, explore, and see new beginings in your life. Transformation through writing is not new, but Spiritual Journaling opens up new ways of understanding God's work and will in our lives. Brother Dan Phillips has been a leader in spirituality for over four decades. He has led conferences on prayer, spiritual journaling, the spirituality of Thomas Merton, and spiritual development at retreat centers nationwide.

Review
Written with simplicity and revealing great humanity, Spiritual Journaling continues the work of a master teacher of contemplative living who finds God's energies everywhere in all the events of our lives. --(Jonathan Montaldo)
Dan Phillips' genius is showing how the practice of spiritual journaling can uncover the amazing but often overlooked thread of grace that runs through each of our lives. It's a motivating and practice guide for anyone who longs to be awakened to the loving activity of God in their lives. --(Ian Morgan Cron, Author of Chasing Francis: A Pilgrim's Tale)

This book is a perfect airport book. Reading about how to channel ones thoughts and relections and what they mean is important to the Christians who want to live a spiritual life. Practical yet thoughtful suggestions for one to ponder on what it means to be Christian. Dan Phillips captures the spirit of living the word by advising us on how we can recognize and even enjoy being a Christian.

What a Strange Little Book...

...Dan Phillips has given us. I picked up this book after a Google search for just that very title, and read it over the course of a week (I was traveling and took it to lunch with me each day). I've seen a few comments in reviews on other sites complaining about the lack of technical instruction on journaling in this book and to those people I say- there are dozens of titles to choose from around that subject; this is something more. It reminds me of one of my favorite expressions about fathers (one that I still quote about my own father, a Methodist minister who we lost to cancer six years ago) that says "My father never told me how to live; he lived, and he let me watch." Dan Phillips has done just that in this powerful little book- he writes, and he lets us watch.
Each chapter lays out a different observation or area of inclusion that has become a part of his spiritual journaling; almost every chapter also contains at least one vignette that I found so powerful that I was moved to tears. The author writes simply but effectively, and always from the heart. Strangely, and this was probably an experience that was unique to me, I also found that Brother Dan shares my love of Moleskine journals, of fountain pens, and of Thomas Merton; I learned that he grew up in Clinton, Tennessee, which is about 20 minutes from my back door and that he went on a pilgramage to Israel in the fall of 2009- I was there in March of the same year. This therefore became a very personal read for me as well. I have now begun journaling (yes in a Moleskine) following the examples from the book, and it has already added a texture and richness to my faith journey I would not otherwise have had.
I strongly believe that God sometimes interjects certain people into our lives at critical times; I have experienced this myself on several occasions in recent years and it has saved my faith. While I may never meet Dan Phillips in person, I will always consider him a mentor, and I am deeply indebted to him for sharing his journals (and his experiences) with the rest of us.
