In the same stylish gift format of the best-selling series opener, this new Intellectual Devotional offers daily digests of wisdom from American history - 365 brief lessons to stimulate the mind every day of the year. Modeled after those bedside books of prayer and contemplation that millions turn to for daily guidance and growth, the first book in the Intellectual Devotional series -- offering secular wisdom and cerebral nourishment -- was an instant hit when it appeared in 2006. Now authors David Kidder and Noah Oppenheimer have turned to the rich legacy of American history for their selection of daily readings. From Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin to Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Boston Tea Party to the Gettysburg Address, the giant figures and pivotal events in our national heritage provide a bountiful source of reflection and learning that will refresh knowledge, revitalize the mind, and open new horizons of intellectual discovery.

Hot on the heels of the first two best-selling volumes in the series, this new book-a secular version of the spiritual devotional-presents 365 daily readings on culture, from the Enlightenment to today When The Intellectual Devotional debuted in the fall of 2006, it became an instant national bestseller. NBC's Today show judged it a "great book to give as a Christmas gift." A year later, The Intellectual Devotional: American History also leaped onto bestseller lists. Now, an avid readership of "devoted intellectuals" will be eager to build on the knowledge base it acquired in the first two books, and what better way to do so than to dive into the complex and vital world of Western culture? Here, the authors turn to the fascinating world of our contemporary culture covering the essential artists, works, icons, and consumer products that have defined the way we live and express ourselves. From War and Peace to Catcher in the Rye, from Beethoven to John Lennon, from H. L. Mencken to Marilyn Monroe, from Andy Warhol to American Idol--the defining events and figures from literature, music, film, sports, and pop culture are served up in morsels of daily wisdom that will revive forgotten knowledge and open new horizons of intellectual discovery. The Intellectual Devotional: Modern Culture is designed in the same stylish gift format and will surely follow its predecessors to bestseller lists everywhere.
