5 Stars!

I’ve reached for many devotionals over the years, but few have become a steady presence on my desk like Daily Joy. This isn’t a book of fleeting inspiration or stories anchored in personal feeling… every page is rooted in Scripture and God’s unchanging truth. For me, that makes all the difference.

The structure is simple and strong: 365 daily readings, each drawn directly from the ESV Women’s Devotional Bible and crafted by over fifty faithful writers… names I already trust, like Joni Eareckson Tada, Lydia Brownback, Jen Wilkin, Sam Storms, Nancy Guthrie, and more. I love knowing that every morning I’ll meet a different voice, but always find the same gospel clarity.

This devotional consistently stays grounded in the Bible itself. I appreciate that the focus is on God’s Word, not shifting circumstances or anecdotes. I find myself keeping a notebook nearby, jotting down encouraging lines, phrases, and truths I want to hold onto.

The topics are both deep and timely: grace, redemption, idolatry, justice, Jesus and the law, and so much more… never shying away from the harder realities of sin and suffering, always returning to Christ and His finished work. Every book of the Bible is touched, and every entry draws us back to the centrality of God’s redeeming love.

Every devotion is thoughtfully crafted, prayerfully written, and doctrinally sound, making it a trustworthy companion for anyone who desires to grow in faith.

Aesthetically, this devotional is a gift in itself. It is beautifully bound, inviting you to leave it out and return to it often. But the real treasure, of course, is in the daily rhythm: Word, reflection, and prayer, all pointing me to my precious Lord and Savior who never changes.

If you’re looking for a devotional that’s more than motivational stories or fleeting encouragement… if you long for depth, faithfulness, and daily reminders that joy is anchored in Christ alone… Daily Joy is the companion you’ll want beside your Bible.

For readers who desire a steady, Scripture-centered resource for daily reflection, this is a devotional I gladly recommend. I’m grateful for Crossway’s commitment to resources that keep the Bible and the Gospel at the center of our daily rhythms.
