Men’s devotions. How many men do you know that read a devotional book? Chances are, not too many, but in addition to reading the Bible, a men’s devotion can help the man in your life grow in faith. Often devotions for men are shorter and, most importantly, are written from and to a man’s perspective.
As men, having a strong faith and spiritual connection is key to making sense of their lives, but many men struggle to find the time or right tools to grow their faith. With the help of modern technology, it’s now easier than ever to connect with God and stay open to his teachings. According to an independent survey of 500 men, nearly 70% of them found that daily devotions and podcasts increased their faith and improved their understanding of their religion.
In this article, we’ll explore some of the best men’s devotions available today and how they can help the men in your life grow deeper in their faith. We’ll talk about the importance of using these tools, what to look for in a good devotion, and how to develop a healthy spiritual practice. By the end of the article, you’ll have a clearer understanding of some of the best devotions available and the power of spiritual growth. So buckle up, and let’s explore the wonderful world of men’s devotions.
If you search for devotionals on nearly any Christian book retailer’s website or even Amazon your results will be approximately 11,000 or more. If you narrow your results to “Men”, the number drops drastically to about 300. There simply aren’t many men’s devotionals, and even fewer “good” ones.
(If you are looking for women’s devotionals, see this post.)
While few devotionals are appropriate for men or women, most devotional writers target women. That’s because the great majority of devotional readers are women. As a result, devotionals geared for a male audience are few and far between.
If your husband (or any man in your life) has a desire or you feel the nudging from God that they do to walk more closely with God, gifting him a devotion for men may be a great idea.
Men must always stand firm in their walk with Christ. No matter what comes their way, always remember that God will always be there to guide him and accompany him in all of life’s adventures. When the going gets tough, they don’t have to fret because they can always find the help they need in Christ. While all of us should be reading our Bible daily, sometimes a men’s devotional can help set their day pointed to Christ and off on the right foot.
I’ve compiled twelve of the most popular and best-selling men’s devotions for the man in your life who seeks a deeper walk with our Heavenly Father.
