God's Wisdom for Navigating Life: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Book of Proverbs by Timothy J. KellerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I used credits to purchase this through Amazon's Great Reads.
I had read Timothy Keller's The Meaning of Marriage right before getting married. I am not religious in any way, and neither is my husband, but I think both of us have a healthy respect for it and understand that there is a lot of collective wisdom in religion. I decided to check this out both because I was familiar with the author and because I had recently become close to a Christian friend.
I didn't follow Keller's guide in how to 'use' the book, seeing as I finished it in a little over a month. The book is divided into about two pages (I think less in the print book, but about two pages for the Kindle version I was looking at) per day, which questions to journal on each day and a prayer. He also suggests forming a group to discuss these questions periodically. I didn't journal, nor did I ever discuss the questions with anyone, but since I'm already in the habit of reading books aloud, I did say many of the prayers aloud. I suggested the book to my friend, and she purchased it, but I'm not sure if she's done anything beyond that.
I found this book interesting and enlightening in learning what the ideal is for Christians. Since I don't believe, I don't find the foundation that the book is based on to be compelling, but there are still a lot of things to reflect on to live a fulfilled life.
