**Daily Liturgy Devotional: A Conversation with Doug O’Donnell**
In this episode of The Crossway Podcast, Doug O’Donnell discusses his new book, the Daily Liturgy Devotional, which offers 40 daily readings to help Christians develop a habit of daily connection with the Lord. The devotional provides a unique approach to daily prayer and Bible reading, drawing on historical Christian prayers and hymns to guide readers in their spiritual growth.
Doug shares how he wrote the book for himself first and foremost, seeking to create a resource that would help him develop holy habits in his own life. He wanted to provide a tool that would help others, including new believers, Christian leaders, and those struggling with prayer and devotions. The book is designed to be used over 40 days, with each day featuring a prayer of illumination, Scripture reading, commentary, prayer prompt, memory verse, and hymn.
Doug explains that he chose to include historical Christian prayers and hymns because they are biblical, beautiful, and have helped shape Christian theology and practice throughout history. He hopes that readers will be inspired to pray and sing these prayers and hymns, even if they are not familiar with them, and that they will help readers develop a deeper understanding of God’s word and character.
The devotional is designed to be flexible, allowing readers to use it in whatever way works best for them. Doug encourages readers to use the book as a starting point, but to also feel free to adapt it to their own needs and circumstances. He hopes that the book will help readers develop a habit of daily prayer and Bible reading, and that it will provide a resource for families and small groups to use together.
Throughout the conversation, Doug shares his passion for helping Christians develop a deeper love for God and his word, and his desire to provide a resource that will help readers grow in their faith.
