The book Longing for God has several features that make it unique and that set it apart from other journals:

• It focuses deliberately on God and His Word as the foundation of our relationship with Jesus and our spiritual life.
• It teaches you how to read and mark the Bible in a meaningful way. If you follow the simple Bible reading plan with passages from the Old Testament and New Testament for every day, you will have read through the entire Bible within one year. But you can also read at a slower pace at your own convenience.
• Longing for God is not just empty pages for journaling. At the end of every month, 12 times throughout the year, there are very practical suggestions that will invigorate your prayer life and spiritual walk. These are intended to be spiritual impulses rather than rigid prescriptions. They will inspire you to try out new things in your relationship with God and in your prayers. You will love it, and will be blessed.
• You will learn how to meaningfully pray for yourself, for your children, for other people, for missionaries, for your neighbors, etc. as well as learn how to pray with a prayer-partner or spouse.
• There are some chapters that deal with tough questions such as: What happens when we pray and wait for answers? Or how to get rid of bitter feelings and grudges? Or how to pray and fast.
• You’ll also find inspirational quotes about the Bible and about prayer sprinkled throughout the book. At the end of the book there are suggestions for special prayer emphases for each day of the week.
• Longing for God is written in such a way that it can be a blessing even to those who are not so familiar with the Bible or who are new believers.
• It is highly practical and easy to use and has an appealing layout and design.
