20 Devotional Books Every Christian Should Read

I don’t think its any secret that I love to read as much as I love to write. I am typically reading no less than two books at a time. While its true that lately its taken me far longer to read through a book than before I had kids, I find that I simply cannot not read.
While perusing my book selves (and Kindle), I ran across some “old friends”…and new ones that I can’t wait to try.
That is why I wanted to create this list of books every Christian should read.
In addition to the books I’ve been waiting to read, here are some books I think every Christian should read at least once.
These books have shaped my personal walk with Christ and have become landmarks in my journey with the Lord. I encourage every Christian to get them and add them to their regular reading.
20 Books Every Christian Should Read
Many of these books I’ve read more than once. Some of them I read regularly, because the message of them is timeless and grows with my growing spiritual maturity.
While no book can replace the Bible, it is imperative that we invite great men and women of God – trusted men and women of God who have endured in their walk with Christ – to speak into our lives. Hebrews instructs us in this.

I just started reading a contemporary version of Bonhoeffer’s Cost of Discipleship. I’m enthralled. I never read this before.
Isn’t it a great book? It is timeless!
Thanks for hosting another great party! I will come back later this afternoon to check out some of the other awesome sites!
I’ve only heard of a few of these books and have only read one (Women Living Well) which I loved. I have ‘The Heavenly Man’ and I just picked up ‘The Virtuous Life of a Christ-Centered Wife.’ Will have to look up the others. : )
Thanks for the recommendations and for your link-up!
Aren’t they great books?? My husband especially likes The Heavenly Man.
I’m not much of a non-fiction reader, but these titles look intriguing for sure. Are any of these titles absolute, number 1 on your list that you’d suggest reading first? Thanks for sharing, and thanks for hosting as well! 🙂
I think #1 is Release of the Spirit. I have read it many times, and need to read it again.
Thanks for sharing this book list, Rosilind! I loved Women Living Well! I’m currently reading Growing Up Duggar and The Ministry of Intercessory Prayer by Andrew Murray.
Oh – I love Andrew Murray, too!
Thank you for sharing this list – I don’t know that I’ve read any of these books. I’ll have to check some of them out!
Thank you for joining us at Grace & Truth.
You’re welcome. Have fun checking them out!
This is a great list! I would add pretty much anything by C.S. Lewis or Philip Yancey (especially ‘Disappointment With God.’)! There are some books on this list I have not read yet… I will have to check them out!
Oh – yes, those are great authors, too!
Heard of some of these, but not all!
Thanks so much for sharing on this week’s Mom 2 Mom Link Up Party! Hope you come join us again soon 🙂
