Read the Bible in a Year: Calendar of Daily ReadingsRobert Murray McCheyneMcCheyne's daily reading plan was first published in 1842 as a way of setting out a structure for Bible reading which was intended to help the people of Dundee (where McCheyne was minister) experience the joy of knowing Scripture. Almost 200 years later this reading plan is probably the best-known Bible reading plan in the world, followed by millions of Christians every year. Following this plan will take us through the Old Testament once, and the New Testament & Psalms twice, all in one year, and as we read, it's incredible how often the selected chapters blend together, reinforcing one another, and help us see the purpose and unity of the Bible. Highly recommended!
Bible Reading PlanDerekThis is a great way to structure your Bible reading. Follow this plan to complete the Bible in 1, 2, or 3 years - the pace depends on whether you want to read more or less, or meditate for longer or shorter periods. But the intention of the author is that this plan will provide a way to help Christians read God's word every day in a structured way that helps us see the big picture of the Bible and how it all fits together.
ESV Daily Devotional New TestamentAlistair Begg;CrosswayThe 'ESV Daily Devotional New Testament' takes the reader through the New Testament in one year, with a Bible reading for each day of the year including comments on the passage as well as prayers to use alongside the reading. If you want a reading plan that's not too demanding or superficial, this finds a nice balance to keep you in the Word every day!
My Rock My RefugeTimothy Keller, Kathy KellerI found this devotional a really helpful way not just to journey through the Psalms in a year but also a chance to see how God works in all seasons, through the highs and the lows. The Keller's have pitched this devotional in a way that's thought-provoking but equally accessible.
New Morning MerciesPaul David TrippIn 'New Morning Mercies', Paul Tripp takes us through 365 devotions which give our souls fuel for the day ahead. Each meditation begins with a gospel thought which is followed by a longer meditation, followed by a verse or passage to read. It's an easy-to-read daily devotional with enough content to encourage us as we begin our day in thankfulness for God's new mercies.
Keep a Quiet HeartElisabeth Elliot'Keep A Quiet Heart', written by famous missionary, Elizabeth Elliot, is a brilliant daily devotional for believers who need to focus on the love of God in a difficult time, going through an unsettling season, or those who've been distracted and need to regain a spiritual focus. In 100 devotions, Elliot helps us to learn or re-learn how to trust in God and walk with him daily.
Journey With Me: 365 Daily DevotionsCatherine CampbellPopular author, Catherine Campbell, has written a lovely daily devotional book which provides a meditation for every day of the year. It's a large format with a generous print size and gives a passage every day along with Catherine's comments. Each meditation is taken from a verse or passage which has particularly been used by God to speak to the author so it's personal, honest, and written with feeling.
Truth For Life - Volume 1Alistair BeggThis is the first of two volumes with this title, written by Alistair Begg. He provides us with a daily reading for every day of the year which begins with a verse followed by Begg's comments, which engage the heart and mind and encourage us to live in that truth for all of our days. Helpfully, at the bottom of each page, we have the passages to read if we want to read the Bible in a year, in addition to meditation we've just read. This is an excellent devotional with which to start each day!
For the Love of GodCarsonIn my opinion this is the best daily devotional on the market! It follows McCheyne's reading plan which can be read in 1 or 2 years, and contains insightful meditations from one of our best-known Bible scholars, D A Carson. There is a depth to each meditation not found in most daily devotionals, and the author weaves the selected chapters together, helping the reader understand them better, showing that the Bible's themes are not isolated but found throughout its pages. If you're looking for a deeper devotional which speaks to the intellect as well as the heart, this is the one!
Morning and Evening Tan/BurgundyC.H. Spurgeon'Morning & Evening' is Spurgeon's daily devotional which is as popular today as it was in Victorian Britain. Each day contains a verse or passage with Spurgeon's thoughts filling the rest of the page. His comments are often pithy, and witty, but also insightful and edifying and are a great way to meditate on God's word every morning and evening.
