Hey, everyone! In 2019, I discovered reading devotional books and found that it's a practice I want to be more intentional with implementing in my life. I'm pretty inconsistent with it. However, I read a couple of devotional books in 2019 and I wanted to share them with you today.

Devotionals I'm Currently Reading:
33098649. sy475 27072943 48129094. sx318 47237039. sy475 44572774
The Purple Book: Biblical Foundations for Building Strong Disciples by Rice Broocks & Steve Murrell: Enjoyed what I read, but haven't picked up in over two years. Need to continue.
 Moments of Grace by Julie Hasling Not a bad devotional book, but it simple.
The Insanity of Sacrifice: A 90-Day Devotional by Nik Ripken Sometimes I really like this one and sometimes I don't. I wanted to finish this before the new year, but I haven't picked it up since December. So, I definitely need to return to it.
God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women by Our Daily Bread I like some of these, but others are not incredibly engaging. They are super short devos, which are usually not what I thrive in.
For All Who Wander Journey Guide by Robin Dance I love the questions, reflections, and resolutions that this book has. Excited to keep doing this one!
