This is a good book for an organized Bible-reading and prayer devotional schedule. There are readings for every day divided by the church year. The readings are a good length for daily use. There is plenty of extra material, prayers, psalms, catechism, etc. to personalize your devotion. I'm still currently using this resource, though I've "read" it for Goodreads' purposes.
The only negative I can think of is the use of the ESV translation. The translation is fine and accurate, but the English ge...more

people who wish to have a resource for daily Christian devotions
This is a unique Christian devotional resource, meant to be used daily. It is based on scripture texts and the church calendar, and is filled with many resources helpful to either individual or family or even small group devotions. Each day's readings contain an Old and New Testament reading and a Psalm, as well as a short writing from one of the church fathers, a prayer, and a hymn verse. The devotions which fall on a saint's feast day offers a brief overview of the saint's life as well.

Everyone looking for a solid Lutheran devotional resource
An excellent devotional resource utilizing the Daily Lectionary from Lutheran Service Book. There are a variety of devotional and worship tools within the book, besides the lectionary (Psalm, OT, NT) readings, Prayer of the Day, hymnody, and historical writing. It's not a small book, however, with about 1600 pages. It also takes some discipline to stick with the readings day after day. I'm also not a big fan of the ESV of the Bible from a readability point of view. The more I've read of it, the...more
I would call this a treasury of readings more than prayer. It includes daily readings from scripture, hymnody, and Christian writers throughout history, as well as a short prayer each day. I love the writing from Christian writers because the ideas presented are often theologically challenging and rather deep. For me, in the past I have fallen out of the habit of reading daily devotions because the modern writers often dumb-down the faith so much that I feel I get nothing out of it. This, on the...more
