Promises to Keep: Daily Devotions for Men of Integrity – Faith and Spirituality for Meaningful Relationships and Leadership

by Nick Harrison

A powerful new movement is sweeping across men are coming together to make a difference in their families, churches, businesses, and communities.They are helping one another acknowledge a deep-seated need and hunger for spiritual nourishment and Christian fellowship. They are "sharpening" one another's understanding of what it means to be a man today. The first book of daily meditations created expressly for men in search of spirituality, Promises to Keep draws together the words of hundreds of prominent Christian authors and leaders. Offering inspiration and motivation, this little treasure provides the spiritual dimensions lacking in the lives of so many and proves that men can be strong and tender, can lead without tyranny, can be authoritative without arrogance, and can have relationships with each other that are full of meaning, insight, and even love.

Good daily devotional book with a nice variety of topics, mostly inspired by the Promise Keepers Movement of Christian Men.

Only thing missing from it is a unifying theme - the days are not connected to one another (like a devotional based on the Catholic liturgical calendar or one from a single author would be), so there is more disjointedness from day to day, without much opportunity to build upon previous days.

Of course, it could be by design, assuming that most people will not read a devotional each and every day, and thereby may become confused or put-off by something that required the previous day's (or days') readings to fully understand.

At any rate, this is a good starter devotional for men just starting to deepen their journey with Christ - lots of sports analogies, challenges to living with integrity, and inspiring stories (both tear-jerkers and rallying cries).
