Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Inspiring devotional written by a knowledgeable scholar. Current.

I also read Chuck Swindoll's nighttime devotional. Brief, but always gives me a lot to think about.

Ladybug, do you have a favorite devotional?

Oh my, I have so many. I have some I refer to often that I have had for years and I do a lot of devotions online now. I like just about anything Billy Graham or Chuck Swindoll. Others would be Streams In The Desert, My Utmost For His Highest, and Our Daily Bread to mention a few.

New Day, New You by Joyce Meyer

Yes, I have a daily devotional flip calendar called The Grace of Encouragement with excerpts from Charles Swindoll. Each day has a quote from one of his books along with a corresponding passage from the Bible. I also read the book My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers. My dad gave it to me when I was 23 and going through a difficult time. Every morning he would spend time reading the daily message and then study the Bible verse. It gave him strength and he thought I should have my own copy. In addition to always being the appropriate message for the day, it is one of my most cherished possessions. His inscription to me reads "A gift to our dear daughter for guidance in your life and to help you handle both the trials and joys." Over the years, it has done both.

Our Daily Bread, anything by Joyce Meyer and Max Lucado. The best bible studies I've participated in have been my Adam Hamilton.

I love this thread! I'm getting some great ideas for new things to read. Thanks, Ladybug837, and all who are contributing.

These are my favorites right now. I've found many of the daily devotionals are available not only in print but also in email and/or apps:

The Upper Room

Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy

Each Day a New Beginning: Daily Meditations for Women

A group of ladies from our church are currently studying "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" written by Joanna Weaver. This is an excellent study which is accompanied by a video for each lesson. The book is available from cbddotcom. You may want to check it out.

I have a lot of devotional books purchased over the years. My favorites are by Max Lucado, Chuck Swindoll and Rick Warren.

we subscribe to "Our Daily Bread" and in our weekly church bulletin, there are readings of the ones we hear at Mass each day --we can read the "notes" at the end I of each in the Bible---mine is on my Kindle
