The title to Brad Henry's book is your first indication that this is no ordinary "devotional" - and indeed to assign it to such a category seems a bit of a misnomer. These are not the writings of a stuffy theologian or a bubbly be-happy-in-Jesus author. This is rather real-world, gritty, school-of-hard-knocks stuff, written by a guy - you will quickly discover - who has been down where people hurt.
"Brad's writings hit home because - yes - Henry is plain-spoken, humorous and transparent, but more importantly because - more than likely - he has felt your pain. This is a man who has survived more tribulations than your average joe. It's all here: losing a parent, a disastrous decision to experiment with drugs, a devastating divorce, a promising career deep-sixed, debilitating depression, an autistic child, financial ruin ... even a high-speed freeway face-plant. And wait until you read what happens to this guy at the Dunkin Donuts drive-through window.
Unswervingly - and often brutally - honest, utterly unpretentious, and always to the point, the author takes you for a ride through the travails and joys of everyday life and brings you home to a place of real purpose. Henry will bring you to tears on one day and send you to the floor in laughter the next ... but always - always - challenge you to make your day count for something."
