Mathematical Devotionals serves as a guide to connect Christianity with mathematics through a year's worth of inspirational prompts and meditations. Each devotional is self-contained, including scripture verses and an image. The devotionals fall into four categories:

· Mathematical connections to Christianity

· Semi-biographical devotionals of Christian mathematicians

· Devotionals based on quotes either by a mathematician or about mathematics

· A few devotionals using logical reasoning as a form of Christian apologetics

The devotionals use mathematics, statistics, computer science, and even occasionally stray into the other science areas to provide a variety of engaging connections to Christianity. The book is intended to show how mathematics and other scientific fields should be considered complementary to Christianity rather than adversarial.
