Reading Order
What is the best order to read the Prayer Series?
The prayer series really has two tracks of reading depending upon the reader. Choose your track below.
Christian Track (Not a clergy or pastor) the best order to read is...
Jesus: 21 Days That Can Change the Way You Pray 
Acts: Prayer That Can Change Your Church 
Praying for Your Pastor: A Church Member's Guide Every Pastor Should Read
Praying for Your People: A Pastor's Guide Every Church Member Should Read. While this book is generally directed toward pastors, church members can find great value about the prayers of the Apostle Paul and the heart of pastors.
Pastor, clergy, or Christian Leader, the best order to read is...
Jesus: 21 Days That Can Change the Way You Pray
Praying for Your People: A Pastor's Guide Every Church Member Should Read
Resignation Monday: A Pastor's Guide to Not Quitting
Praying for Your Pastor: A Church Member's Guide Every Pastor Should Read. While written with the church member in mind, this is a great tool for pastors to learn about the Apostle Paul's prayers and how to ask a congregation to pray for you.
What is the best order to read the Devotional Series?
The Devotional Series follows the Christian Year. While the series can be entered at any point, the Christian year begins with Advent (November generally). Certainly no requirement to wait until November to start the series, you can begin at any point. Below is a complete outline of the Christian year, along with the focus of the season, and general timeline as the seasons vary slightly each year. Each book covers every possibility for the seasons.
Advent: Early November through Christmas Day. Advent's focus is the expected coming of the Messiah. For Christians, our expected coming is his return.
Christmas: Christmas is twelve days in the Christian year, running from Christmas Day to January 5. The focus of Christmas is the birth of the Messiah and how does his birth change our lives.
Epiphany: Epiphany begins January 6, lasting until the start of Lent (generally early February to mid-March). Epiphany's focus is on the identity of Christ - just who is this Jesus? As Christian's, our identity is wrapped up in Jesus the Christ.
Lent: Lent begins early February to mid-March depending on the year. Lent lasts for forty days, not counting Sundays, ending Easter Day (some traditions end Lent after the crucifixion of Jesus). The focus is on the suffering and self-denial of Jesus. As Christians, we partake in that suffering and self-denial in our discipleship.
Holy Week: Holy Week is the last week before Easter Sunday. Some traditions include Holy Week as part of Lent. This series provides a special reflection dedicated to Holy Week, though you could continue reading the Lent devotional. This book provides a unique reflection on what might your response been had you lived in these final days of Christ on earth.
Easter: Easter begins on Resurrection Sunday, lasting until the day of Pentecost. Both, the start and end of Easter Season, varies each year generally running until early-mid June. Some traditions call the season after Easter Day as Ordinary Time. This series continues asking the question, how does the resurrected Jesus call us to devote our lives to him?
Pentecost: The final season of the Christian Year is Pentecost. Pentecost begins on Pentecost Sunday, continuing until Advent. Many traditions consider the period between Pentecost and Advent as ordinary time as well. This book's focus is understanding why we are given the Holy Spirit and how it leads us into mission.
As stated earlier, where you enter the series isn't important. Starting in Epiphany will not affect your reflections. You can enter anywhere and have the opportunity for spiritual growth.
