Daily Liturgy Devotional – Douglas Sean O’Donnell

Douglas Sean O’Donnell, Daily Liturgy Devotional: 40 Days of Worship and Prayer (Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2024), 255 pp.

The Daily Liturgy Devotional: 40 Days of Worship and Prayer by Sean O’Donnell is a tool for our times. The book contains 40 days of material to meditate upon and lead worshippers into the throne room of the living God.

The book organizes itself around eight themes: The Gospel, Faith, Love, Hope, Wisdom, Holiness, Perseverance, and Witness. Each theme contains five readings that follow a similar pattern, including adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication, prayer of illumination, Scripture reading, concise commentary, prayer prompt, memory verse, and hymn.

The author draws from resources in Scripture and church history, all of which point the reader to the Lord Jesus Christ. The predictable pattern, which may annoy some, is actually instructive and helps promote continuity in prayer.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.

  1. Thanks for your review. “The predictable pattern, which may annoy some, is actually instructive and helps promote continuity in prayer.” – Yes, an excellent point. And seeing that we live in a secular age and biblically illiteracy is high, even among Christians, we need patterns, repetition, etc.
