From the Publisher
In this day of Facebook and Twitter, I have been asked whether journaling is losing relevance. With the accessible technological tools available, why would people still want to journal on paper?
Our generation is writing more than any generation since the invention of the feather pen. People use Twitter and Facebook as tools to foster and develop relationships with others. People use journals as tools to develop a relationship with themselves and with God.
The Internet and social media applications have become a huge part of people’s lives, and that won’t change. Online communication, though, is public by design. The process of journaling, especially in relation to spiritual discipline, is a deeply private, intimate act. For many, it is comforting to step away from the QWERTY keyboard, take pen in hand and commit their deepest thoughts, feelings and insights to paper. Journaling has proved to be essential to many persons’ spiritual growth and is a time-honored act of writing, thinking, praying, remembering, and reflecting. A healthy and active journaling experience can be the basis of new and exciting insights that will then enhance a journaler’s inward life and all of the relationships that grow from it.
We see journal sales increasing because, while those outward-focused relationship tools are great, people will always be looking for ways to retreat from technology, to reflect and seek meaning, and to nurture their inner person.
