A book of daily devotions by Richard J. Foster, published by HarperSanFrancisco in 1995 with the subtitle Devotions for the Daily Journey of Faith. Each devotion pairs an excerpt from one of Foster's earlier books, among them Celebration of Discipline, Freedom of Simplicity, The Challenge of the Disciplined Life and Prayer, with a related Bible passage and a short reflection. The readings are arranged in the inward, upward and outward movements Foster uses in Prayer, and its topics include stillness and worship, corporate guidance and what keeps people from praying. It is a companion to the earlier books rather than new teaching.
