Treasury of Daily Prayer - Regular Edition

This is the best resource I have found to provide structure to your daily prayer life. It is like the Liturgy of the Hours/Divine Office in a Lutheran version, free from the unorthodox prayers and practices of other churches. You don't need to look for anything outside our great tradition and will feel more connected to the Church than ever before. It is the Prayer of the Church in it's best fashion for daily use.

This is a wonderful resource for in-depth devotional time. This takes you through the entire church year with a daily psalm, sequential OT and NT readings, a short commentary written by various esteemed theologians, both ancient and occasionally more contemporary (many of the commentaries are from the writings of Martin Luther), a verse from a hymn, and a closing prayer. By the time you make it through the entire year, you will have read ALMOST all of the Bible. What I like most about these daily devotions is that the content on average is roughly 80% pure scripture and 20% scripturally based commentary, hymn verse, and prayer. No unnecessary fluff. Frequently, as I finish a "day", I look ahead to "tomorrow" to see what the next chapter (so to speak) is going to be as the "story" unfolds!

If you want your devotional time to be longer than a couple of minutes, this is the book for you. I have used it for several years. It can also be used for daily worship services.
