"Tree of Life" is a book of 365 excerpts from the New International Version of the Bible. Each one of these excerpts has been carefully selected to be appropriate for common life situations. Eric Kampmann doesn't include page after page of personal commentary or direction for the reader. Instead he has selected the verses and the title for the devotional and left it up to the reader to determine what it means to them. I actually found this format to be much more beneficial than many devotional books that provide a single verse and multiple lines of commentary. For this format to work well it is critically important that the verses are carefully selected to reflect a deeper truth and enough verses from the passage are selected to make that deeper truth easily accessible. Eric Kampmann had done an excellent job of selecting perfect verses. "Tree of Life" is an excellent devotional book that I would recommend to anyone, not just men, as the subtitle would indicate.
