Christian Christmas Gifts for Men: Journals He Will Actually Use
Most men will not keep a journal that asks for a page of feelings every night. They will keep one that asks for a sentence. That is the idea behind these picks: short, steady and built around Scripture.

1. A sentence a day for five years

Fifty-two undated weeks. Each one has a verse, a short reading that gets to the point, three honest questions and a two-page prayer spread for the job, the family and the things he never says out loud.

Questions
What is a good Christian gift for a man who does not journal?
Something that asks very little. Verse a Day for Men asks for a sentence or two a day under one Bible verse, which is about what most men will keep up.
Is the prayer journal dated?
No. Both journals are undated, so he can start any day of the year.
Which Bible translation is used?
Both use the World English Bible, a clear modern English translation.
