A Diary of Private Prayer by

John Baillie

 

A devotional classic. Journey with Dr. Baillie through 31 days of morning and evening prayers. This little book may help enrich your prayer life. For another wonderful collection of prayers, check out The Valley of Vision under “The Puritans” Section.

Life as a Vapor by John Piper

 

This is a powerful collection of meditations. I find myself turning to this little book when I need to change my preoccupation with self and fix my eyes on the eternal.

Mining for Wisdom by Derek Thomas

 

Dr. Thomas has a special love for the book of Job. This wonderful collection of 28 daily readings takes the reader on a wonderful journey through Job. 

Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

 

Spurgeon wrote this collection of twice daily reflections on Scripture for his beloved congregation. There are two entries for every day of the year. This is classic Spurgeon: warm, theological, and pastoral. You can also enjoy these daily readings from the link on our web page. There is a contemporary English version available by Alister Begg.

No Wonder They Call Him the Savior by Max Lucado

 

Although I’m not the greatest fan of his more recent books, this collection of reflections on the Lord Jesus is wonderful. This is Lucado’s best book. I also appreciate the follow up: God Came Near.

The Cross He Bore by Frederick Leahy

 

This is a great little book to read every Easter season. Leahy’s meditations are solidly biblical and profoundly moving.

The Unexpected Jesus by R.C. Sproul

 

A moving examination of the various names/titles that the New Testament gives to Jesus.

Whiter Than Snow by Paul Tripp
