Upper Room Disciplines

A new devotional for 2012 has just come out from the Upper Room, and I wanted to let my readers know about it. The volume is the edition of the Upper Room Disciplines for 2012. I had the opportunity to contribute a week's worth of devotions for next year's Disciplines, which was an undertaking that I enjoyed a great deal.

The Disciplines is a devotional that Upper Room publishes each year that follows the lectionary and has meditations for every day of the year. You can think of it as a more in-depth version of the bi-monthly Upper Room devotional guide that many people are familiar with from their local churches. The difference with the Disciplines volume is that it comes in a single binding that covers the devotional readings for the entire year, and that its meditations are intended to be aimed at those who are more mature in their faith and are ready for spiritual reflection at a deeper level.

I plan on using the 2012 Disciplines as my own daily devotional reading next year. I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone who would like to engage good spiritual writing in conjunction with the lectionary. You can get the 2012 Disciplines via Amazon at this link, or through Cokesbury's online store.

Oh, and if you're interested, I wrote the meditations for August 6-12, which are found on pages 231-237 of the guide.
