by Caleb J. Lines

Embark on a transformative journey with  A 52-Week Progressive Christian Devotional, a devotional guiding readers through 13 powerful themes like renewal, diversity, and mental health. Fusing scripture, progressive Christian insights, and engaging discussions, each week nurtures a faith that unites intellect and emotion. 

When progressive Christians awaken to the realization of how our faith interact with the world, we may struggle to figure out where to start—there is so much work to do! We must also nurture healthier faith communities and culture that unite the head and the heart. Awakened is a unique devotional structured around 13 themes with four weeks on each theme.  Themes include renewal, diversity, eco-spirituality, mental health, LGBTQ+ inclusion, science, and more. Each devotional includes scripture, a reflection on the theme from a progressive Christian perspective, questions for personal reflection or group discussion, and a spiritual practice.  Each devotional will also have a QR code that readers can scan to take them to a video where the author will discuss the theme further and lead them through the spiritual practice.

I have enjoyed walking with this devotional during 2025 and read many of the meditations more than once. I have also found the accompanying videos helpful, providing an expanded perspective.

Life got in my way a bit in October and November, but I skipped to the four weeks of Adventure and then back to finish up the last two sections.

I would actually enjoy very much coming back to this in a future year, which to me is a sign of a helpful daybook.

I found this book very interesting. Parts of it reminded me that I can still be a Christian without adhering to all that most of Christianity purports. Caleb Lines is a progressive thinker who teaches the reader the reasons that biblical writers wrote what they did. I found it comforting, especially the chapters on "Rethinking Beliefs". A caveat: I did not read this book the way it was intended: a chapter a week with reflection and more using the QR code. I read the book a chapter at a time, sometimes a chapter a day, sometimes with long gaps between chapters, and I never once used the QR code. Perhaps I'll read it again the "right" way, or maybe I'll keep it handy and read it this same way when I need to. It would be an interesting book to read with a group of women.
