~A NEW YEAR--A NEW DEVOTIONAL

The start of a new year is the perfect time to start a new devotional.  Daily devotions may be short, but they're definitely sweet.  A good one can carry a nugget of truth that's so clearly elucidated, it will stick with you forever.  Here is a list of titles, many of which are on my own reading list--I had better start reading!  And by the way, I haven't included devotional Bibles--perhaps that will be my next list ;)

There are also devotionals that aren't on this list that are specifically for men, children, teens, engaged couples, married couples, singles, parents, grandparents, families, and more.  You can find all of them and read excerpts from them at christianbook.com.
