If you are looking for something different to add to your daily devotions, you might find Timothy East’s book “Evangelical Ramblings” enlivening. East’s strongly evangelical and methodist perspective is a good counterweight to the lackadaisical Lutheranism we’ve discussed in the past.

It was popular in England a century plus ago and describes the interactions between a Christian traveling across the UK and people he meets in all classes of life. Easy reading. -LL
