This anthology of Christian readings provides a diary of readings drawn from the mainstream of Christian thought. It is intended that each of the 365 passages should serve as the bases for reflection, or as a source of sustenance on each day of the year. The extracts are from the great Christian thinkers, such as St Augustine and St Francis of Assisi via Martin Luther, Pascal and John Henry Newman, to writers of the 20th century, such as Simone Weil, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Freya Stark. John Baillie is the author of "A Diary of Private Prayer".
