I’m not a big reader of devotional books.
I try, but I tend to start books at the beginning and read through to the end. That works for fiction and even for most nonfiction, but it doesn’t work for a devotional book where the idea is to read a page a day for 30 or 52 or 365 days.
I appreciate they have a place in the market and in the Christian life. Each devotional takes only a few minutes to read so would be ideal for, say, busy mothers, or for people to read on their daily commute (only if they commute on public transport, of course. Please do not read while driving!)
These days, I’m more likely to share a devotional that’s been posted online, such as the Monday devotional posts on Australasian Christian Writers, or the many people who share their thoughts on Facebook.
