Here’s the next installment of my top 10 favorite devotional books:

Continuing our series, here are two more of my top ten devotional favorites.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written in this space—there have been a number of transitions among us Attaways in the past couple of months, and I’ll be offering you some reflections in the weeks to come on the place of transitions in our personal, family and devotional lives. But now, I’d like to get back to the subject of devotional reading, and present the next two entries (numbers 8 and 9) in my top ten list.

I love lists—bests or worsts, of songs or movies or celebrities or news stories, lists of almost anything. I’m going to share a number of my top ten lists with you over the next few months. And because I’m an avid, not to say compulsive, reader (all right, I admit it: I’m a bibliomaniac), my favorite lists are lists of books. So here’s a list of my personal top ten devotional books.

I spent a good deal of time last week thinking about a title for this blog. The word devotional in most people’s vocabulary (and in the dictionary) is an adjective; we read devotional books, attend devotional services and put aside some morning devotional time. But in the Christian world, particularly in the evangelical Christian world, devotional is also a noun.
