When Your "Quiet Times" Get Stale

We all struggle with maintaining a rich, rewarding time with God each day. However, it is important to maintain this “discipline” even when we're not “feeling it,” because real growth happens by a “long obedience in the same direction,” not short spurts of inspiration and goose bumps.

Two books by D. A. Carson, For the Love of God vols 1-2, are excellent resources to help take you through the Bible. Carson, one of our country’s best theologians, gives you several passages to read and then his reflections on one of them.

I heartily recommend them as a "quiet time" guide. They also have a good scripture index in the back which makes them good as a quick reference commentary. Carson usually has some pretty amazing insights so be sure to check it out.

Here is a link to buy the book if you are interested. (Here)
