Summary

Kieth Long's daily reflections for men take a frank and refreshing look at what it means to be a man of devotion and faith. Using everyday situations, Long illuminates God's presence and grace in life's many stages and circumstances. His descriptions of marriage and fatherhood, memories of childhood sports, and his hometown fishing hole are varied and exciting. From Little League games to undergoing a kidney transplant, Long discusses events of his own life as a metaphor for God's fidelity in and through the refining of our faith. The scripture verses in each daily entry provide this devotional work with insight, intensity, and an enduring relevance to the Christian life, while each of Keith's reflections in turn elucidate the book's many well-chosen Bible passages.

- "Room to Grow" contains an uplifting scripture verse and lesson for each day of the week with different chapters for each month such as "Lessons on Childhood" and "Lessons on the Outdoors."

- Through his observation of life's hard-lessons on love, grace, and friendship, Keith Long illustrates
