Skyler Daniel is one of the bright young ascending leaders who gives me hope for the mission of God in North America. He is able to do evangelistic work among college students (and many others), not by resorting to trite formulas or hackneyed cliches, but by making the gospel intelligible and compelling in post-Christendom contexts. I hope this is the first of many books from Skyler.

Rev. Daniel speaks from the heart in Life Wisdom and delivers simple lessons to reflect on each day. His messages, ranging from as little as thirty seconds to no more than five minutes, show us how our own everyday actions can affect—improve—the lives of many when those actions come from a deep connection to Christ. And although his writings are ostensibly aimed at a generation of people in their twenties, Life Wisdom is not just for the young! Rev. Daniel’s reflections bring inspiration to readers of all ages. His heartfelt messages of hope, spiritual resilience and compassion offer reader-friendly and practical Christian guidance during unsettling times. This book is a wonderful bedside companion for all.

Studies have consistently shown students’ faith engagement during the transition from high school to college is spotty at best. Skyler Daniel’s wit and relatability come through his devotionals. His words are practical and point to Christ’s grace and love. Every college student should have a copy!

Our choices in young adulthood determine the course of our lives—yet we are often ill-prepared for these important decisions. Skyler writes with a unique combination of grace and wit, connecting daily experience with spiritual truth. This book is a wonderful guide for young adults who are finding their way in a wide world.

For a young generation weary of insincere and inapplicable religious platitudes, Life Wisdom provides authentic meditations on real life from one who genuinely desires for students to embody real faith. Through each reflection, Skyler Daniel combines the wisdom of Holy Scripture with his own personal faithful and sometimes fumbling efforts to follow Jesus. Life Wisdom offers the kind of essential support every college student needs in their journey with Jesus; it offers a thoughtful and caring friend to travel with them.
