Wisdom For Daily Living:

365 Encouraging Verses

Of The Bible For Men

A Review

Barbour Publishing is reprinting this devotional, originally printed in 2011, in time for Father’s Day 2021. Each one-page devotional begins with a verse reference, taken from one of 18 different translations. Also, about 18 twenty or twenty-first century authors have contributed devotional thoughts to this volume.

One of the strengths is the addition of two indexes at the rear of the book. The first index is based on authors, the second by scripture references.

The one concern I had as I read through the devotions was the lack of authors being given credit with their own devotional material. This information can be found - once the entry number is determined, the reader is able to scan the author index in the rear of the book. Note, the author index is sorted by author’s name, not by entry number. All the entries for each author are given in a single list.

I liked the devotions, but was less enthusiastic about the tools the reader is provided for accessing the various readings. I give this book 3-1/2 stars.
