Daily Secular "Devotional" Books?

February 24, 2021 8:30 AM

I'm reading "A Poem for Every Night of the Year", edited by Allie Esiri with my kids. What are some other similarly-constructed daily devotional readings that I could add to my habit. I'm athe-agnostic, so secular-ish would be preferred.

I haven't read it, but there's The Bibliophile's Devotional

Best answer: And I just realized that GoodReads is suggesting a list that that book is on entitled Secular Daily Readings that looks helpful

Maybe a little off topic, but you may also enjoy Gmorning, Gnight: Little Pep Talks for Me and You by Lin-Manuel Miranda. I have a couple of friends who read this with their kids at night.

Sing a Song of Seasons: A Nature Poem for Each Day of the Year. We don’t own it but I’ve flipped through it many times at our local bookstore and it is *beautiful.*
