He includes a "relevant" (in his opinion) verse for each day, as well as a "key point." The verses were often taken way out of context, and the key points seemed to be more "self help" and moralistic in nature than truly Christ-honoring musings.
His method of choosing people to write about is questionable… he found singles whose birth dates matched each day of the year, so he acknowledged that some dates, he had to choose between ten interesting people and other dates, he was hard pressed to find even one person to talk about.
Many of the people profiled are not clearly Christians, and a few he decides to include as cautionary tales. I would rather have seen all positive stories of people who explicitly gave their lives to God to direct.
He includes some people who are married for much of their lives, but died single - I just don't think this counts!
He purposely excludes those in religious orders who took vows of celibacy, but then includes Jesus Christ.
I'm giving this 2 stars only because I learned of a couple people whom I want to read about a bit more.… (mer)
