Every devotion contains a relevant verse of Scripture, an associated quote and a short vignette on a related topic. There are forty of these uplifting devotions, ten encouraging essays, a special sermon that was presented to the soldiers in the field and a short biographical tribute to six of the South's most pious commanders. A bonus study-guide will enable the user to read the Bible in one-year is also included.
