Interesting daily devotional that ties one word into a a quote or Bible verse and then explains how it plays a role in your Christian Life. Each devotional is written by a different person.

This a Guideposts devotional. The concept is to focus on one word every day and relate it spiritually to one’s life. I was excited to start it because I love words. There are many fine devotionals in this book, but the focus was not always on Christ. Some days there wasn’t even a Scripture associated with the message but a quote from a famous person. Several of these were even from non-Christians, even a Buddhist monk. At the end of each devotional I would do my own word study- looking up how the word was used Biblically and related Scriptures. That I did enjoy.

Great way to start the day
I've read this book through three times. The word each day gives me a simple focus. The stories are thought provoking and enjoyable. Its a nice compliment to my morning prayers.

Word of the Day!
A great book to use as a daily devotion. The devotions are so intentional and always have a prayer for the day at the end. I highly recommend.

My favorite devotions from this one-word-a-day book were written by Bob (Hostetler). I especially resonated with his thinking. I have a will use some of these in my Bible study class.

This is, without a doubt, the worst "devotional" book I have ever read. I know that sounds unkind, but it's the truth.
I think the editors of Guideposts meant well, and maybe even had a good idea. And, I admit, it started out good. But it ran out of steam within a month or two.
At the beginning, there would be a word, and a Scripture reference, then a short reading from someone who was, for the most part, unidentified. That's a feature I didn't like. For example, a lot of the readings were by someone named "Bob." His were actually some of the better ones.
Eventually, though, the Scripture references gave way to quotes from other people. And most of those sounded more like motivational speaking than devotionals. What really irked me was the inclusion of quotes from people like Frederick Nietzsche and Stephen Hawking. Why on earth would you include quotes from atheists in a devotional book??
As the months dragged on, it got to where there was only one Scripture reference to about ten or more "motivational" quotes.
I am a fan of Guideposts. I enjoy their yearly devotional books, which, up until 2023, were always called "Daily Guideposts ____" for the current year. For 2023, they've changed that to Walking in Grace, which I'm okay with.
But this book? Not worth the paper it's printed on. In fact, I'm not even taking this one to Half-Price Books. It's going in the recycle bin.

Reading Pray a Word a Day is a thoughtful way to begin the day. It allows me to take pause and reflect before delving into the day's activities, challenges, and obligations. It also encourages me to practice gratitude each day.

Helped me know the Lord is always with me.

Was not quite what I expected. Some entries were silly and frivolous. I was hoping for something more meaningful with biblical references
