The Imitation of Christ. Whether you're a Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Hindu, hell, even an atheist, you should read that book.
I could recommend a few books :
The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis
Quite light reading and have a good references for spiritual reflections in daily life.
Theology of the Body by John Paul II
This book change my perspective toward "sexual" issues in the modern world, nowadays.
My Daily Bread by Fr. Anthony J. Paone
I read this book daily, personally, whenever i found my faith challenged. As if the book understand my problem at that day.
I hope this help, God bless.

My grandparents and dad always used [Living Faith] (http://www.livingfaith.com/).
Personally, I bought a Roman Missal and read the daily readings from that. The Catholic Company also has a wonderful "Morning Offering" email that formats like this.
As for a book that isn't meant to be a daily devotional but served as a great one for me on my first reading of it, thanks to its short sections, is Thomas a Kempis' The Imitation of Christ.
Good luck and welcome home!
Sure! I guess it's a first step, but it's not enough or something one can really do apart from religion, i.e. without entering in the Church he founded and using of the sacraments he instituted for us.
