I think I have mentioned before that Derek and I are country music fans. I am a fan because I grew up listening to country music, and appropriately, I happened to live in the country. Everyone listened to country music where I grew up, but I think I would have liked it regardless. I love how a lot of the music is family focused, and I like songs I can sing along to!
Derek and I have been Josh Turner fans for a long time - he sings one of my favorite songs. When I saw that he wrote a devotional for men called "Man Stuff", I asked Derek if he would read it if I requested it, and he said he definitely would!
This is a book that is geared toward husbands and fathers, and it is filled with practical encouragement. Derek has been enjoying the book so far! I told him I needed a quote from him for my review, and he said:
"He shares a lot of stories from his life and his walk with the Lord. I wouldn't necessarily call it a devotional, but I think it's an encouraging book, and it can help you to focus on godly priorities."
There you go, straight from my man.
Even though I requested this book for my husband, I have been enjoying it too! Each chapter is a different story from Josh Turner's life, including a corresponding Bible verse, with wisdom on how to be a godly man, husband, and father (Turner has three kids). I think I tend to have a different idea of what constitutes a "devotional", and both Derek and I agreed that we wouldn't necessarily categorize this as a devotional book - more just an encouraging book with stories on Christian living, which we also appreciate.
I think it is really interesting to read more about Turner and his family since we are fans of his music! I like the simple truths that Turner shares in each chapter. I haven't read through the entire book yet, but I think lot of the stories he shares are things that men would resonate with. The book lives up to it's name, "Man Stuff".
I think this book would make a great gift, especially for men that like Josh Turner's music, since a lot of the content is autobiographical. Something to keep in mind since Christmas is right around the corner!
