The President's Devotional offers daily words that have inspired President Barack Obama, collected by his "Pastor-in-Chief" (Time), Joshua DuBois.
"Whatever else history records of Obama's years in the White House, it must include that this president was offered a type of spiritual nurture unique among America's chief executives?customized devotionals delivered daily. Thanks to DuBois, we too can be instructed and inspired by words intended to sustain a president." —New York Times–bestselling author Stephen Mansfield
Every day, Joshua DuBois—President Obama's spiritual advisor who also served as the executive director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships—provided the Commander-in-Chief with a morning devotional weaving together scripture, song, prayer, and reflections, motivated by the spirit of God and infused with joyful flair. The President's Devotional contains the best of these devotionals, daily spiritual guidance that offer peace, comfort, and inspiration throughout the entire year.
"It's absolutely essential all leaders receive daily direction, spiritual guidance, and soul-nourishing input from God's Word. Having served at the center of American government, Joshua understands better than many how draining leadership can be, and how we must refresh ourselves daily through time with God, thinking about eternal truths." —#1 New York Times–bestselling author Rick Warren
"So many believers seek scriptural, experienced guidance on how to navigate the tensions and challenges of living a public life aligned with their personal faith. The President's Devotional is a uniquely valuable resource to help every person live a life that glorifies Christ and serves their neighbor." —Mark Batterson, Pastor, National Community Church and New York Times bestselling author

      Starred review from November 15, 2013

      When DuBois (former head, White House Office of Faith-Based & Neighborhood Partnerships) led the religious affairs department of Sen. Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, he received Obama's permission to send him daily devotional email messages. As part of the Obama presidential administration, he continued to do so. He has now selected 365 of those emails, labeled here from January 1 through December 31, to inspire hope, illuminate key principles, or replenish a person's busy life. Even though the book is based upon a calendar year, readers can really dip in as they choose or begin reading on any date. Entries feature a short biblical quotation, sometimes an additional relevant secular quotation, a snippet from a song or verse, a brief daily meditation, and a short prayer. Each month is prefaced by an autobiographical essay by DuBois relating to challenges the Obama administration confronted and how they connect to themes of faith and doubt and of moving forward. VERDICT It is unnecessary for a reader to have any particular theological or political background to gain from the book through the inspirational thoughts and encouragement expressed. Many readers are likely to find themselves attracted to this appealing title.--William Garrett, Troy Univ. Lib., AL
