Life of Jesus in 30 Days, the second book of Trevin Wax’s three-part series, takes readers through the gospel accounts of the life of Jesus. In addition to readings from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the author includes content from the Psalms, prayers from Christians, and confessions of the faith, providing prayers and meditations for morning, midday, and evening quiet times. This book was invaluable to me in establishing a rhythm of intentional prayer three times per day.
Read MoreIn this lovely book, 1 of 3 in a series, Trevin Wax revives the ancient tradition of praying three times per day. In this volume, Wax gives readers not only all 150 Psalms but also other prayers and confessions to use as fuel for prayer and reflection. The book helps cultivate the practice of intentionally coming to God morning, noon, and night to pause, read, reflect, and pray. It is a wonderful tool to help Christians maintain focus on the worship of God throughout the ups and downs of each day.

In the introduction, Ortlund says, “The purpose of this book is to foster communion with God amid all the ups and downs of daily life in this fallen world. The devotional content is meant to facilitate fellowship with God in the words of the Psalms.” (p. 7) I recommend reading one entry each evening at bedtime.

Written by a 19th-century Scottish pastor, the words are as wise and applicable today as when Chambers penned them. There is a reason it’s one of the most popular Christian devotionals ever published.
Read MoreKim’s devotions are as sweet and authentic as she was. The entries honestly and humorously relay how she witnessed God at work in her roles as a mom, wife, neighbor, patient, and friend before her death from cancer. She shares her faith with genuine humility and joy.
