My Utmost for His Highest
Oswald Chambers
My Utmost for His Highest would be a great devotional if you struggle with consistentcy when it comes to personal quiet time. There are short one page devotionals for everyday of the year and you just pick whatever the date is and begin reading. Although Oswald Chambers is very short each day – the thoughts are profound and very deep. We highly recommend this book.
