I don't know about your house, but I barely remember a time when Daily Guideposts weren't in our house, my grandparents' houses and at my greataunts' houses! They were a fixture of my childhood!
About Daily Guideposts:
Now in its 35th year, Daily Guideposts has brought inspiration and guidance to millions of readers, selling more than 20 million copies since the devotional series’ debut in 1975 as one of the first daily devotional collections. Daily Guideposts is the creation of former Guideposts Books editor Fred Bauer, who was inspired to write a devotional that offered daily prayers and stories for year-round spiritual growth. Originally conceived as a collection of Bauer’s reflections on faith in his own life, Daily Guideposts now encompasses more than 50 writers’ stories in each edition.
Synopsis: Daily Guideposts: 2011 celebrates growing in God’s love and wisdom, bringing readers simple yet profound devotions to connect with God in new ways — even on the most hectic of days.
Daily entries open with a scripture reading for meditative reflection, followed by a true, first-person story, and close with a short prayer. Monthly “seeds of love” sections encourage readers to write down their blessings so they will become more mindful of all they have to be thankful for in their lives.
More than 50 writers contribute to this new spiritual companion, sharing stories of how God has transformed their relationships, jobs, families and faith. With stories from bestselling authors such as Debbie Macomber to veteran Daily Guideposts devotional contributors Marion Bond West and Carol Kuykendall, “Daily Guideposts” readers will recognize their favorite writers while discovering new voices along the way.
Review: This is a nice heavy book, with a satin ribbon to hold your place. Each day begins with a bible verse, then a short commentary/story from one of the writers that illustrates the verse, followed by a short prayer.

An example for Oct. 28-
- Bible Phrase: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (shouldn't that be our daily prayer for each other and our children??).
- The story from Brigette Weeks speaks of her suffering from Depression, going thru therapy and loosing her short term memory. BUT she could still knit and as she knitted a blanket for her unborn grandchild, she put prayers for health, happiness and safe journey for the infant. As she recovered the stitches gave her comfort and a sense of peace that her prayers would be heard.
- Prayer: Thank you Jesus for sharing our pain and for the hope and the healing You bring to so many.
