One of the greatest tools for helping you walk with Christ is a daily devotional. If you've ever sat down with the Bible and found out you had no idea where to start for a quiet time, a devotional is a great way to get you started down the right path. You'll have to look through a few to find a format that you gel with, but having someone point you to a particular passage along with some helpful questions beats the "let's just flip open to a page and see what it says" method any day. PS: I'm always on the lookout for new devotionals so if you've found a good one let me know.

Abide in Christ by Andrew Murray Why this book can be found in bargain bins I will never know.  Written by an old puritan, this 31 day devotional guides us to knowing Christ in an intimate way on a daily basis.  For all those who have said that really walking with Christ is either impossible, or at best too hard, this book is a must.  Learn how to abide in Christ every day, how Christ is the one who makes this possible, and event wants this for you. Each time I read it I gain new insight.  Definitely one of the top 5 books I have read.

Devotional Classics by Richard Foster So who are the great writers of Christianity?  We’ve all heard of St. Francis, Bonhoeffer, Luther, Calvin, Jonathan Edwards and others, but most of us will never find tome to track down their books and read them.  Foster does us a favor in this 52 week devotional guide.  He collects some excerpts from these and other writers and introduces us to one each week.  If we are looking for some new authors in your life, this is a great way to expose yourself to some of the greatest men and women of the faith, some that you know, and many that you will discover for the first time.

With Christ in the School of Prayer by Andrew Murray Another 31 day devotional, Murray walks us through most of Jesus’ teaching on prayer and shows us how to apply it to our lives.  What is surprising is how so many of our thoughts about prayer come form our culture rather than from Jesus.  You will be challenged to pray as Jesus did, and to find the same power and confidence He had as well.  Each chapter is only 4-6 pages, so you can easily do this as a morning devotional.  If you want to know more about prayer, this is a classic.
