As a man in the modern world, how can I find my strength in God? In Daily Strength, Crossway presents a devotional for men to be strengthened by grace.
Equip and Encourage
Edited by Sam Storms, this resource aims to equip and encourage men. The goal is heart transformation. As I was reading, I found my heart moved and drawn to want more of God. It was refreshing to have words written directly to me as a man. The themes of seeking God’s calling, leadership, and living a life of faith are not forced. Rather, they come from the natural flow and applications of the text. I learned that God has something to say directly to men, and it was a joy to hear Him speak to my heart every day.
More than fifty men are credited as contributors, including Christopher Ash, Alistair Begg, Jon Bloom, James M. Hamilton Jr., Julius J. Kim, Dane C. Ortlund, Stephen T. Um, and Jared C. Wilson. Because the contributors are pastors, professors, and Christian leaders, I am used to reading many of their words in books, articles, and academic journals. Reading their devotionals brought a sense of familiarity but also simple profundity to the truth of the Gospel and the beauty of the Bible.
Feed Your Mind, Direct Your Heart
What I enjoyed most about this devotional is how it takes you through the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation. Reading this book will not only give you an extensive overview of Scripture, but a succinct history of salvation. I was most pleased to see so many devotions in the Old Testament. And with each devotion being 1-2 pages, there is always a simple takeaway to make it time well spent. So while the book is feeding my mind, it is directing my heart as well.
This book does not mean to make you what the world defines as masculine. Instead, it directs your gaze towards Jesus and challenges you to a life of joyful obedience, grounded in the Bible and rooted in the Gospel. Being a man of God means allowing God’s grace to permeate my life at work, at church, and at home. As we work for the kingdom, we are also called to rest and worship. By God’s grace, we can find strength and help in our times of need.
I received a media copy of Daily Strength and this is my honest review.

This book collects the daily readings from the Men’s Study Bible produced by Crossway. It has contributions from all sorts of pastors and teachers, many of whom are well-known and some who are not. Be that as it may it was a fine collection of readings. And to be honest the book’s price is worth it just to be able to read Dane Ortlund’s entries alone. His entries on Isaiah are simply amazing! Highly recommend this book

Excellent Devotional for Men
This is a gospel focused devotional for men. The devotions are short and focused on the text at hand. It takes only 3-5 minutes to read.
I highly recommend this book.

An excellent daily mens devotional. I received this in May, 2023 and began daily devotionals for the past year. It was an excellent aid in simple, regular Bible reading and reflection. I enjoyed the diversity of authors/writers for each of the sections.

Great Devotional
This is a great resource for all believers. It is deeper than most daily devotionals but still accessible to all.

Some really good devotionals that spoke to me in a timely way and some pretty pedestrian observations by some contributors. I don’t think I’m a daily devotional person.
