    I am so thankful that I was able to review this book( Tony Dungy's The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge ) thanks to Tyndale House Publishers . I am a fan of Tony Dungy thanks to my having lived in Indiana so when this book was offered for review I jumped at the chance to review it. I even had to wait a few months for this book and it was so worth the wait. Tony Dungy's book The One Year Uncommon Life-Daily Challenge is a gem if you ask me. This devotional has been a great addition to my morning routine. Tony Dungy with Nathan Whitaker wrote 365 devotions that dare you to be uncommon. I feel this book is really a good choice for any teen ,parent, man , woman , boss, employee, minister, military personnel (ok I am sure you get it )and any one that just loves to have a positive moment in their day. The devotions are short and to the point and Tony has done a great job at choosing Bible verses that he has used in his life. I have even found myself searching for the highlighter in my house so that I can highlight the very valid points and verses. I have found that my husband and I enjoy this devotional together. We can not always find the time for both of us to read this together but that's ok if one of we miss a day we are not going to lost when we pick the book up after a missed day. I think you can even just open this book up and read it. I got this before the January 1st and would just open the book and read and I got so much just reading it out of chronological order. I love to post positive quotes on Facebook and have found I have quoted Tony's Dungy a lot just from this book. Do yourself a favor and get this book. I give it 5 stars and will be keeping this book of devotions for years to come. If you want to check this book out and see a sample of what I am enjoying go to. http://www.coachdungy.com/index.php/the-one-year-uncommon-life-daily-challenge/

    You can sign up for the challenge and find others who are taking the challenge and are there to support you.

    I will leave you with a great Bible verse that Tony has grown up with and used quite often in his life and you can find on January 13th.

    " Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed" Proverbs 16:3. Now comes the time in my blog where I have to tell you to comply with new regulations introduced by the Federal Trade Commission, Tyndale House Publishers has provided you with a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions in my review are my own .

    Being a professional football fan, especially of the Indianapolis Colts, when I saw this devotional advertised I knew I wanted the opportunity to review it. I have long been a fan of Coach Dungy and admired him for his passion and faithfulness to Lord on the field and off. His uncommon presence embodies one of tranquility even in the face of adversity.

    Since getting this book and beginning the challenge, I am further inspired to be uncommon, set apart for God. Often times we try to make bible study difficult, full of rules and regulations, when in reality it's not. An Uncommon Life is written with a simplistic approach, packed full of practical application that is relevant to today, whether you are male or female, young or old, sports fan or not.

    The arrangement is easy covering seven themes, repeating every seven days: Core; Family; Friends; Potential; Mission; Influence; Faith. I've found something in each that has resonated deep within and I look forward to sharing this Uncommon Challenge with my teenage sons.

    I highly encourage you to spend time daily in the Word of God. Along with your Bible, you can use this devotional to get you off the sidelines and onto the field of Christian living!

    Tyndale House provided a copy of this book for review purposes. I was not required to write a positive one, just my honest opinion, which I have done. No other compensation has been, or will be, received.

    This day at a time devotional book is well-written. The structure is such that it is useful for either going through one day at a time throughout the year (as it is intended) or as a focused study on one of the areas of focus in the book. Either way, it can be used as a standalone devotional, reading the scripture, then the commentary, and using the application or as a guide to a more in-depth study of the verses for each day. You don't have to know who Coach Dungy is to get something from this book. You just have to want to know Jesus and to spend time with God.

    There are seven focus areas these 365 devotions cover:

    - Core

    - Family

    - Friends

    - Potential

    - Mission

    - Influence

    - Faith

    January 1 starts with Core, and each day after is a different focus area, in rotation as listed above. If you miss a day, you can do the next day without missing a beat. The devotional offers spiritual insights with a lot of sports analogies, but also with personal vignettes from Coach Dungy's life. The focus areas offer a structure that allows flexibility in how you use the book, and I would recommend using it as a day-to-day devotional the first year, and then as a supplement to another devotional the following year, by going through one of the focus areas.

    This is also a devotional that could be used in a group or family setting. It has enough depth to be useful for adults, but it is also not so deep that it would be beyond a 12 year old. The application portions at the end of each day's snippet could easily be adjusted or developed a little bit to work with a young person as well as they do with an adult. One of the really nice things about this book is its flexibility.

    As I have read through, I have been able to find some really good insights, and some truths to think about. The January 9 devotional about Romans 8:38-39 hit home for me. The book is full of genuine moments from a successful coach who is determined to live his life for Jesus, and wants to give that passion away. To that end, however you do it, spending time in the Word, and allowing it to work in your heart is always the best way to move through your day. I recommend this book as one way to accomplish that. It is scriptural, honest, and motivational.

    I am not new by any means to the work of Tony Dungy, and I think I could safely say that he is still well-known in the football community (and I am sure outside of that community as well). I first came to know about him when I lived near Tampa Bay, Florida. Yes, I saw him turn the Buccaneers around. It is probably the only time in my life that I was actually interested in football. I don't remember how much I actually watched football during the time I was there, but I followed it. I was so impressed with Tony Dungy as a coach, a father, and a Christian. I can remember seeing him on the field with his son (who unfortunately later committed suicide). I left before Dungy was forced to move on. And then I followed him as he took the Indianapolis Colts to their historic Super Bowl win.

    The thing that always impressed me about Dungy was he lived what he believed. The other coaches would be shown ranting and raving on the field, but we never really saw that side of him. I read him book Quiet Strength, and I was quite impressed with his story. When the chance to review his new book came about, I knew I wanted to get that chance!

    His devotional The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge is exactly what one would expect from Tony Dungy. Each day is written simply and with great conviction. And he relates most of the lessons to his love--football. He is the one person in the world who can actually get me interested in football. He makes it easy to understand, and he is definitely within his element. This receives a 5-star rating. Don't worry if you don't like football--if you are a Christian who wants to read a short, challenging message (and improve your quiet time), this is the book for you.

    I am rather by nature a non-conformist. If the popular opinion is one thing, I will more than likely choose the opposite. I don't do things because "everyone else is doing it", if everyone else is doing it, you can rest assured I am not.

    That is probably why I was often in a lot of trouble growing up...oh wait, that's not what I meant to say. That is probably why Tony Dungy's new book held such appeal to me. His book is pictured at the left and is titled, The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge.

    The Uncommon Life Challenge is written like a devotional book. He starts with a scripture, a short devotional and ends with a challenge for the day. For example on Feb. 11 he choose James 5:13-16 and his challenge is "There is one means of communication that has never changed between God and human beings from Old Testament times to now--prayer. What do you need to pray about right now? Commit that you will spend more time praying."

    I was not able to read the entire book, because it came very late, but the portion I did read was excellent. I gave it to my 11 year girly-girl to read and she is devouring it. Not a day goes by without her buried eyeball deep in the pages.

    She likes Tony Dungy's challenge (called "Uncommon Keys") because it says things we might already know but don't want to say, or do. " She appreciates that he uses different ideas from what we can understand to explain concepts that we couldn't normally wrap our minds around." She also likes that he starts each day with a verse (or verses).

    If you're looking to make 2012 a year to make a difference for Christ, in your life, in your world. If you're up for a challenge, get this book and read it, study it, learn from it. Next year when you look back on 2012 you will see that you did indeed have an Uncommon Life, a richer life.
