Journey of Spiritual Growth
A devotional book provides short daily readings that are based on Bible verses, followed by a reflection on the scripture, and practical advice or personal stories to help apply the lesson to your life. Many daily devotions end each day’s reading with a powerful prayer or questions for personal reflection.
Some daily devotions are themed, for example, anxiety, dating, college life, or young moms, while others are faith-based, for example, focusing on the Holy Spirit, God’s love, or finding your purpose in life.
So, in order to find the perfect devotional for the 20 Something in your life, let’s explore some options depending on personal experiences of their own life or interests.
