Shuan,
I'll make two suggestions for you.
If you like Foster, then you might like a book he edited, "Devotional
Classics". It is a collection of excerpts of the faithful from 2nd
to 20th centuries and from protestant, catholic to Quaker authors.
Each devotional starts with a brief biography, the excerpt, followed
by a scripture passage and Foster's reflections and applications. I
believe that their are 30 or so. A second volume has come out.
A little different might be "Money and Power" by Jacques Ellul, the
French sociologist/economist (he's been gone for over a decade I
guess.) Ellul tries to unravel the Bible's teaching on
possessions/money; form the OT where wealth is often a sign of God's
blessing and approval to the NT where wealth and the wealthy are
almost uniformly evil and cruel. He's a good read and challenges us
to step back from the material things around us. It may not sound
"devotional," but I assume that you will be coming back to the
"world" as the old monks used to say.
