Today I have some book related devotional ideas for you. Some of these are a little punny, but I hope you enjoy them anyway. Whether you have a Christian book club and want something “book” themed to share or not, I hope that you will try your hand at finishing out one or more of the ideas and write a complete devotional or challenge with them.
These are devotional starter ideas for you to add your own illustrations, Bible verse references, and so on. They are kind of like writing prompts for devotions. I trust they will inspire you to write!

I have been writing since I was little. I wrote short stories, poems, and all kinds of things before I ended up writing my devotional books. I have so many more things that I eventually want to write. Goals!
Writing is a wonderful creative release, and when you write devotionals, you get to reflect on the Lord and God’s Word. Win – win! If you have never attempted writing a devotional, even if it is just for yourself, give it a try!
Have a lovely day,
Julia
