Anyone have a good devotional rec ? I've gone through Jesus Calling twice and am looking for something similar !
-
"my utmost for his highest" by oswald chambers is my absolute favorite.
you can read it online for free - http://utmost.org/
-
I haven't done Jesus Calling, but I've got a few that I love.
The Message devotional, which is a companion to the Message translation by Eugene Peterson is very cool. I also have the YouVersion Bible app on my phone, and they have a huge selection of free devotionals to use.
Joyce Meyer is great for quick morning devotions, but hers tend to be more 'story-like'. Not sure exactly what you prefer!
-
I love anything by Beth Moore. They're short-term, so not set up like My Utmost or Jesus Calling where you have one everyday for a year, but she is phenomenal.
-
Thanks for the suggestions !!!
@redsmarties: I'm going to download that app - would love to have something on my phone !@photojane: love Beth Moore. I also really like Kelly minter (sp?) her study on Nehemiah was sooo good!
-
Morning and Evening or Valley of Vision are great for morning when the baby isn't napping but you need a quick devotional.
ETA: Sometimes I need truth specifically about mothering. Rachel Jankovic's "Loving the Little Years" is great. Not a substitute for scripture, but good encouragement.
-
@Weagle: oooh thanks!
-
I like "Faith to Faith" by Kenneth & Gloria Copeland.
ETA: Here is a link so you can read the description.

Wow I love all these great recs!
I think that Jen Hatmaker has a devotional. ....I love her!
DH and I are doing the Love Dare right now, but I am sure that's not the sort of thing you're looking for. It's great for couples though!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I really really want to do love dare with DH!
-
@redsmarties: I second the YouVersion Bible app.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: LOVE Jen Hatmaker! I think my church small group is going to do her 7 study together
-
@grizz: 7 is seriously amazing! It changed my life!
I love this thread because it is so nice discovering the Jesus gals on HB!
-
@coacheswife123: it is great! It is pretty simple, straightforward, and each lesson is super short which is great for DH.
-
@Weagle: I think I want to read the book you suggested! Thanks!
And here is a song recommendation for all your Christian mommies:

You're the best song by Bethany Dillon.
-
I love this thread! Thank you ladies for sharing!
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I ordered The Love Dare off Amazon the other day! Super excited to get started
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I agree - in love knowing there are some Jesus bees out there ! And I loooove Bethany dillon !!
-
I love all of these recommendations! I really need to start a devotional soon! Thanks for sharing ladies!
-
@redsmarties: @ash: why can't I find this app ?! Do you ladies have iPhones ?
-
@coacheswife123: I have an android.

I'm subscribing to get some good ideas!
-
This thread has some great ideas! I need a new devotional too!
@grizz: @Rainbow Sprinkles: I am reading through 7 now with some ladies from my church... I really like it too!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I thought the same thing! Ha!
I love the youversion bible app as well! I'm going to have to look up some of these recommendations!
-
Why can't I find this bible app in iTunes ?!?!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I love that song by Bethany Dillon! Makes me cry every time.
@coacheswife123: I have it on my iPhone! If you search "Bible" it's the first one. The picture is a little brown Bible. It says "LifeChurch.tv" under it, but it is the YouVersion one!
-
@photojane: THANK YOU!
-
@photojane: @coacheswife123: I love that app! I read the Bible ten times more now than I ever did before, and I use their reading plans/devotionals a lot.
-
I second (or third or fourth?) the You Version Bible App. I like to read the Proverbs 31 Ministeries devotionals since they are specifically focused on women (there's often ones about being a Mom,etc). They're new Monday through Friday.
-
Halfway through You-Version's Reading Plan and loving it!
Look for----> One: A Marriage Devotional by Jimmy Evans -
@Weagle: I'm usually more of a lurker but I just wanted to say how much I've loved Loving the Little Years too. Hoping her new book is just as good!
She's also been writing some daily devotionals with her family like this one: http://www.feminagirls.com/2013/02/22/february-22-proverbs-1918/#more-5198
(Not sure how long they'll keep it up, but I've really been enjoying them and gotten a lot to mull over.)
All the suggestions above sound great... I'll have to come back and look them up!
-
@teaberry: I love the Femina blog!
-
