Spending time with God is an integral part of the Christian life. While it is sufficient to simply read the Bible and pray, it is often helpful to have a devotional to guide one through a study time. Devotionals can also key in on certain topics to assist in spiritual growth. Devotionals can include small or large portions of Scripture, personal anecdotes about how the author handled specific situations, or journaling space with questions to answer. Regardless, devotion time is a very personal time, and having a devotional book can help to keep a man focused on the task at hand.
Some of these are written by famous authors or preachers, while others are compiled by laymen. Either way, they include wisdom and ideas to move study to a further depth.
