Great Daily Devo For Guys!
This was a great daily devotional book. My husband loved it, having admired Tony's career. It's dated and each day is started with a key topic word like "Influence", or " Faith", "Family", then an opening for the topic- just a couple words, then a Bible verse, and then Tony's encouraging text, usually a few paragraphs. It ends with an "Uncommon Key" which is basically a final thought about the day's topic.
This is the perfect book for the guys in your life. Especially football lovers of course. Men like to be challenged, and this book is certainly a challenge for men to rise up with integrity and
"Dare to Be Uncommon Every Day" on every page.
Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book.

A Powerful Devotional Written on Rotating Themes
The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge is a devotional written on the rotating themes of core, family, friends, potential, mission, influence, and faith. Since the devotions stand alone, the book can be started at any time of the year without confusion. Each devotion has a scripture and a way to apply or act on the information and a challenge to âÂÂdo more for GodâÂÂs Kingdom.âÂÂ
I found the devotions powerful and I enjoyed the format. The book begins with information about how to use the book. I particularly appreciated the final paragraph that encourages the reader to keep on going and not try to catch up after missing a day, but to âÂÂspend time with God today.â I believe that this will make a great addition to a year, culminating in a stronger Christian life and relationship with God.

I would recommend this book for any man in your life. I know someone who doesnâÂÂt like to read and asked him for his response. He was excited and said this was the first book that meant something to him without being overwhelmed. He said it was just enough information for each day and would love to continue reading.
I received copy of this devotion from Tyndale House Publishers in their blogging program for this review.

"Uncommon Life" Daily Challenge
This book is a one year devotional book by Super Bowl winning head coach Tony Dungy. It focuses on seven principles: Core, Family, Friends, Potential, Mission, Influence, and Faith. Each day of the week is devoted to one principle. Each week, the cycle repeats. Each devotional starts with a verse, has a page of personal insight from Tony Dungy, and ends with a statement to carry with you for the rest of the day.
As far as a daily devotional goes, this one is pretty good. Tony has some interesting insights and great stories to use as examples to illustrate biblical principles. The lessons taught (and hopefully learned) are excellent for the daily Christian life, and an excellent way to lead âÂÂan uncommon lifeâÂÂ.
Having said that, I would offer a brief word of caution. This book relies heavily on TonyâÂÂs life for examples. Not surprising, many of his stories are sports related. That shouldnâÂÂt come as a surprise, but if you are not into sports, perhaps you should find a different book. Also, I found that reading a different topic each day was a bit distracting for me. I personally would have preferred to have one topic for a week, with a seven week cycle instead of a seven day cycle. This would have allowed me to focus on one topic for a week rather than just for a day. But, this is a daily devotional and is what many people prefer.
Overall, this was a good book and one that I would recommend for those looking for a daily devotional and donâÂÂt mind (or are even looking for) a sports lean.
