If you want to enrich your devotional life,
I highly recommend that you take a look at a book called <My Utmost for His Highest>
As the title shows, the first = original edition was written in 1927 in the UK.
That is, you can find a variety of editions, which might confuse you which book you should take.
If you are not familiar with this book, I personally recommend the copy I shared above.
Because this is the latest one; that is, it uses the closest language we use nowadays.

3 reasons why I suggest
Here are reasons for which I am suggesting this volume to you.
Christ-centered insights into real life
In my own view, both study and action is vital to faith.
However, devotional books might tend to focus on Bible study.
In that sense, the book I shared goes another path.
The author gives you rich Christ-centered insights which lead you to do something in biblical ways.
This is why the book is my favorit:)
Enough short for devotion
Since devotion is an everyday thing, it should not be a big deal, isn’t it?:)
Also, I assume that continuity is a crucial part in terms of devotion.
In other words, you should nourish yourself day by day; not once per week.
If a devotional book requires me to make much effort, such as two hours every day, I promise I will stop in three days (or less lol).
This guide prepares one verse, one page, per day.
That is one reason why I recommend this book.
Very structural
Although any part of the Bible is critical for us,
it would be also true that some verses and messages appear many times so you can understand what God wants you to tell.
Once you finish reading, I believe you can grasp the overall structure and ideas of the Bible through this book.
Reading verse by verse is very good for your devotional life.
On the other hand, I am so sure that comprehending big pictures of God’s messages enhance your spiritual life as well.
I highly recommend that you buy the book and to finish reading it over a year!
