Gifts for Pastors and Church Leaders: Devotionals
Devotionals are a great way to revive the soul and strengthen our hearts. I like that devotionals are short and sweet, and often carry powerful messages that can encourage us in the Word of God. These are great gifts for pastors and church leaders that can serve as great reminders to trust in the Lord and to find our hope and strength in him!

Heaven Calling: 365 Day Devotional by Stephen Van Zant
This devotional is a collection of fourteen years of Stephen Van Zant’s prayer journal, where he shares a year’s worth of daily devotions inspired by God Calling, a book written anonymously by the Two Listeners in the 1930s. This devotional teaches two-way prayer and the importance of establishing quiet times.
With the busyness of ministry life, pastors recognize how crucial it is to spend daily time in God’s presence.
