"Always we begin again."
Discover God's hope and purpose for your life. Allow God's Word to speak to you through the powerful daily meditations in the 2008 edition of The Upper Room Disciplines.
If you need support establishing a daily practice of Bible study and prayer, you'll find valuable and gentle help in this annual bestseller.
Think of it as a full-year's worth of The Upper Room daily devotional guide, only with meditations addressing weekly (Monday through Sunday) themes. Each of the 53 writers offers a variety of perspectives on daily Bible readings selected from the Revised Common Lectionary, which will help you reconnect with God.
The Foreword, written by Jane E. Vennard, offers compassionate, encouraging words of relief to those who slip in commitments to practice daily biblical reflections. "'Faithfulness in prayer is the willingness to always start over,'" Vennard writes. "You will begin, and you will forget. …Be grateful that you have recognized what has happened, open the book, and begin again. Rejoice that you have started over."
Each scriptural- and real-life based meditation includes suggestions for prayer and further reflection that will help you be more open to God's love and guidance. Also included is an outline explaining how to use The Upper Room Disciplines in small groups.
Writers for this edition include: Roland Rink, David Griebner, Paul Chilcote, Susan Muto, Don Saliers, Garlinda Burton, David Steindl-Rast, Lauren Winner, Loyd Allen, and many others.
An enlarged print edition is also available.
New! The Upper Room Disciplines 2008 Discussion Guide lists each week's lections, gives a brief background on the passages and then draws from the writings three or four thoughtful questions to foster group discussion. A closing prayer is also provided.
