Just Kate Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I would love to find a nice daily devotional to read now through Easter. I am Protestant and my particular church doesn't really celebrate the Lenten season (not sure if it is Lent or Lenten...I've seen both). I would really like to take this time to reflect, get off of Facebook, and spend more time focused on Jesus. Would love your recommendations!

ScoutTN Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross. edited by Nancy Guthrie. Devotions taken from writings or sermons of famous preachers from Augustine, the Reformers, all the way through current people like Alistair Begg, Joni Eareckson Tada, and Tim Keller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Gospel Sermons, Volume 1, by Walther. This takes the Gospel lessons in the traditional one year lectionary and presents an excellent sermon on each one. Volume 1 takes you through the church year, IIRC it starts with the Advent lessons and goes through Trinity Sunday (so, roughly December through May). You read the Bible passage, and then read the sermon. These are earnest, devout, Gospel-centered, and very carefully thought out. Lots to think about in each one. Meaty but each is self-contained so it's doable. Or, for something a little lighter, "The Vine Speaks" and "The Rock Speaks", both by the Cindy Steinbeck, whose family for several generations has been running a vineyard in Southern California. Very interesting devotional studies around references to grapes and vines and vineyards in the first one, and rocks, sand, mountains, etc. in the second.

Violet Crown Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I would love to find a nice daily devotional to read now through Easter. I am Protestant and my particular church doesn't really celebrate the Lenten season (not sure if it is Lent or Lenten...I've seen both). Can't think of a devotional that would be right for you; but "Lent" is the noun, and "Lenten" is the adjective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Kate Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Can't think of a devotional that would be right for you; but "Lent" is the noun, and "Lenten" is the adjective. Thank you for letting me know that! I had always wondered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 You could focus praying the psalms. Read three a day. Except 119. That gets is own day. :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liza Q Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 My church has a free one that you can print or read online - I'm looking forward to using it! http://resurrectionsheepsheadbay.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/02/LentenGuide_Web_v1.pdf http://resurrectionsheepsheadbay.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/02/LentenGuide_SongBook.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liza Q Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 And - several of my friends are using this one. It's also available as an app you can use on your phone, but I think that is a few dollars. Today is Day 2 but I'm sure that you could catch up! http://shereadstruth.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 This thread made me decide to go looking. Redeemer Presbyterian Church has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like to take this time to reflect, get off of Facebook, and spend more time focused on Jesus. Would love your recommendations! This is Catholic, but shouldn't be anything offensive, etc to a Protestant. I read it each year (they do a new one each year). Scripture plus an interesting fact, biography of a saint or famous martyr, etc each day. Short, so totally doable. https://www.amazon.com/Little-Black-Book-Lent-2017-ebook/dp/B01MTCV3FA/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1488314978&sr=1-1&keywords=little+black+book+lent+2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Orthodox Mom put this one out (Orthodox Lent started yesterday, but it'd be easy to catch up). It's for all 40 days and Holy Week, too. It presents a Bible verse a day and has you write about it in the context of Lent. There'll be some Orthodox helps in there, I think. You don't have to use those if they don't apply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
