Upper Room

I'm afraid I wasn't perfect in keeping up with this every day. I do appreciate spending time with the lectionary before the Sunday that features it. I get a chance to explore more deeply the verses that will be the focus of the service. Some authors speak to me more than others. I used this as nighttime reading, so sometimes was too tired to do it justice. I did like it enough to get the 2023 edition.

I read this book most every morning. It is a great start to the day.

Each week's devotions are written by a different person. Most of the contributers are associated with the american United Methodist Church but some are from other denominations and/or countries. The range of contributers includes Anglicans, Catholics, and Baptists; Canadians, South Africans, Koreans and Australians.
(By the way I am an Anglican living in Australia)

Format: One page per day. Each day covers a different bible show more passage from the following Sunday's lectionary reading. Then a short homely, or devotion based on the reading. Completed by a prayer and/or meditation.

Pros:
~ Wide range of excellent contributers
~ Follows the lectionary which really adds to my enjoyment of the Sunday service.
~ Great start to the day

Cons:
I Can't think of any. show less
