The Man Minute: 60 Seconds Can Change Your Life

by Jason Cruise

God can do a lot to a man in just a minute. "I cannot attempt to explain why The Man Minute fell into your world. . .but it has no doubt landed on the path of your journey. I cannot tell you what’s going to happen. . .other than to tell you that life won’t be the same. . . .      "God doesn’t take part in the coincidental, and He doesn’t offer random. His paths are sure and battle-tested. His words are worth slowing down long enough to encounter."(from the Introduction)  Jason Cruise—author, speaker, and producer—has taken the flat, paved, predictable road of men’s devotionals and made a hard right turn down a dirt road of insights that are raw, unfiltered, and unpredictable. Every “Man Minute” is designed to be read in sixty seconds, yet  you'll carry the insights you glean into a lifelong journey of spiritual manhood. This book offers a high-caliber tandem of biblical insights and encouragement that will draw you closer to God, who has called you to a life that transcends complacent, run-of-the-mill manhood.

[Joe Simmons · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was looking for a devotional specifically geared toward men, but The Man Minute didn’t quite meet my expectations. While the concept of quick, impactful devotionals is great, the content itself feels more generic than truly tailored for men. Many of the devotionals could easily apply to anyone, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn’t what I was hoping for based on the title.

The writing is fine, and there are some solid reflections, but nothing particularly deep or unique that stands out from other devotionals. If you’re expecting something distinctly masculine, with insights on faith, leadership, or challenges men specifically face, you might be disappointed.

Overall, it’s a decent devotional for a quick daily read, but it doesn’t fully live up to its branding as a men’s devotional. If you’re looking for something more focused on biblical manhood, you may want to explore other options.
