recommended devotional book?

Our Sunday School is using a devotional workbook now called Strengthen Thy Brethren by Dr. Clarence Sexton. It's a study of I Peter. I'm enjoying it so far.

Not enough adults are involved in small group discipleship such as Sunday School. Too many stunt their spiritual growth by trying to do it on their own, or just through Sunday morning services. You may consider your Sunday School attendence nothing special, but I think your Master considers it very special.

That IS exciting. My wife and I have been reading Nouwen for the last year or so---he has quickly shot up into my short list of favorite spiritual writers, along with George MacDonald and Thomas Merton. Wise, beautiful, with tough tendons underneath that gentle prose.

Devotional Classics: Selected Readings for Individuals and Groups by Richard J. Foster and James Bryan Smith (Paperback - Jul 2005)

It has fifty two selections from devotioanl writers ranging over the whole spectrum of Christian belief: Catholic, Puritan, Quaker etc and over the centuries. Lewis is first up. For each selection it gives a relevent Bible reading, questions for reflection and spiritual excercises. Wonderful.

How would telling people to be nice to one another get a man crucified? What government would execute Mister Rogers or Captain Kangaroo?
