I wasn't quite sure how this would read bringing that it was a completion by another person than Lincoln himself. I was fascinated by how much Abraham Lincoln immersed himself in the Scriptures which I believe was instrumental in the way he made the decisions before him that not only affected him but the whole country. And that is why the country was able to heal itself on a very diverse subject

One of those "daily inspiration" books that will help you hang out with the greatest presidential mind.

I believe the voice behind this devotional Thomas Freiling bothered me some. It was his insights after the scant quotings of President Lincoln that troubled me. So I would have to say most of his writing I did not like. His two cents is added after each one of Lincoln's quotes. I found him to be quite repetitive and I'm not really sure how to explain but strangely contradictory. I had originally thought this book would incorporate more of Lincoln's views than it actually did; so that was a let down. I think Lincoln's insights got lost somewhere in the writing.

This book offers some great insights into the spiritual side of Abraham Lincoln. It also helps the reader see more of the deep and moral character of this president. A great book for anyone's shelf who enjoys pondering the deeper side of great people.

This is a devotional - one page for each day of the year. Although I have not read through the entire book, I would recommend it to anyone who has in interest in Lincoln. It gives insight into the role his faith played in his life.

This is a wonderful book filled with Lincoln's insights into the Bible. It is based on a devotional that Lincoln read and often referred to. I loved this book. It is fun and filled with interesting facts.

Awesome book. Interesting religious insights into Lincolns life. It has a few contradictions of other things I've read, but still a good perspective. Lots of really good quotes.
