Another term that is cornered in the Christian market is a devotional*. This can refer to an actual object, such as a book or journal that includes memory verses and reflections on God’s nature, or a set aside time or place wherein one prays, reads the Bible, and overall betters oneself as a Jesus follower. It’s best not to ask the actual specifics of a Christian’s devotional time but to ensure that they are in fact securing their devotional time daily. If you really want to get plugged in with your Christian friends it’s best to refer to this term as a “devo”. As in, “How were your devos today man?”
There are many levels of Christian devotionals. For a quick and easy fix order a calendar with a daily Bible verse or sign up online for a “Thought of the Day”- a dose of 
Christianity delivered to your inbox daily. However, most Christians choose some type of book in order to guide their nap, I mean, devo time.
There are many options to choose from, and one must first select the appropriate demographic that you would like to assign yourself too: Devotionals for men, women, teens, couples, African Americans, Caucasian Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, or Other. Each of these devos are highly adaptable to your specific life situation, therefore, choose wisely. If you accidentally wander into the devo for European Americans of Swedish descent but are indeed of Danish roots, you may very well stray from the message God intended for you.
You will likely find the appropriate devo for even the most specific groups. B& H Publishing Group offers “Bible Promises for Champions.” If you are not a champion, be advised to not read this devotional, as it would only offer Godly tips for those who are truly looking to succeed in life.
Once you’ve decided your demographic next you must choose a time frame: 31 days with God, 365 tips for yearly ser
vanthood, or the strategic 7 minutes with Jesus (to be coordinated with your 6 minute abs: always attribute one more minute to Jesus than any of your other daily activities).
You’ve selected the correct group and time frame: Congratulations! You’re ready to purchase your first devotional book and truly join the masses of Christians who commit daily to figuring out what exactly they’re supposed to be doing during a devo in the first place. Just remember, whether on the golf course or hunting for Bengal tigers in the forests of India, there is no life situation untouched by the perfect devotional book for you.
