Book Review: Kingdom Men Rising

Tony Evans’ Kingdom Men Rising (Bethany House, 2021) is a nice little 90 day devotional book written especially for men.

It is bound in 7 inch by 4 1/2 inch leather-like book with heavy pages and a ribbon marker. It feels good in the hand and physically seems to invite the reader to hold and open it.

Each day’s reading is just 2 pages, including a bible verse from the NASB version, a short commentary then 3 action items. The action items lead the reader to think deeply about the verse and to apply it to his own life and circumstances. Each day’s reading ends with a short prayer asking Jesus’ help to walk in the way you have just learned.

My only “complaint” about the book is a simple formatting issue. Occasionally, the prayer box has spilled onto a third page. This interrupts the flow of the book - days 1 and 2 you read the front and back of the page, then on day 3 the prayer is on a third page, days 4-12 you’re reading a left and right hand page. Day 14’s prayer box is on the back of the right hand page and I fear the reader may miss that until the following day. Again, that’s a simple formatting issue and I hope the publisher will receive my review and correct it in future printings.

Overall, I would certainly recommend Kingdom Men Rising.

Bethany House provided a copy of this book to me in exchange for a fair and impartial review.
