"I pray you find the same poetic beauty, awe-inspiring wisdom, and challenge to deeper discipleship that I have discovered in the lectionary and the pages of Disciplines." --Kara Lassen Oliver
Challenge yourself to a deeper relationship with Christ each day with The Upper Room Disciplines. Readings in this year-long devotional will awaken and strengthen your awareness of God's presence in your daily life. Each week a different Christian thought leader offers daily meditations and prayers that will help you engage in God's Word.
Based on the Revised Common Lectionary, a three-year cycle of scripture readings, Disciplines
A focal scripture passage for each day of the year Brief, insightful meditations from 53 thought leaders from diverse Christian traditions A prayer or reflection to carry with you each day Weekly scripture overviews An index of scripture readings A guide to daily prayer Among the writers for the 2024 edition of Disciplines are Gabby Cudjoe-Wilkes, Johnathan Wilson-Hartgrove, Will Willimon, Tracy Malone, David Dark, Whitney Simpson, and Ray Buckley.
I enjoyed the different authors each week, giving 52 different perspectives through the whole year. The reflections were short, which made them easy to include in my morning routine. My Sunday School class used this devotional as inspiration for group discussion and reflection throughout 2024.
