About this listen

We are delighted to offer this beautifully narrated audio version of A Diary of Private Prayer. Editor Susanna Wright offers this updated edition of a Christian devotional classic - invoking the daily prayers and timeless imagery of the original text through modern, accessible language.

In this wonderful collection, famed theologian Dr. John Baillie shares personal prayers for people who are seeking a better understanding of God and themselves. Organized by morning and evening - with special prayers for Sundays - A Diary of Private Prayer is written with eloquence, piety, and directness. Blending praise and meditative thoughts about God with a concern for the social and individual good, these daily invocations help and inspire us to search our inner selves and find the deep religious beliefs that lie within.

First published in 1936, A Diary of Private Prayer remains a seminal Christian devotional with more than a million copies in print. This modern edition admirably preserves all the qualities of the original, ensuring that the wisdom of God and the wonder of Baillie’s prayers remain accessible for many generations to come.

Each prayer is a separate titled chapter enabling the listener to access whichever is needed on the day.

I loved listening to every minute of this book. So though provoking and inspiring. I plan start it over again.

Loved Every Minute

While I realize the narrator represents the Author of the original book,
in my mind, and as a woman, I was expecting a female narrator. Since the book has been rewritten for an audience of this generation I would have enjoyed a female narrator more.

I listen to these prayers at night and find great comfort in them. I find it sad that so many of the written prayers I come across today are shallow and self centered. These prayers drove me to desire a deeper life with God.

A wonderful devotional but I wish chapters were shown by day, rather than #. That would make it so much easier to navigate around!

These updated prayers originally written by John Baillie are beautiful and will uplift your spirit through confession and praise. I enjoy listening to them as I drive in the car or do mindless work as a way to connect with God. Well worth an Audible credit! You’ll listen to it over and over.
