Boyd Bailey has led a passionate career in ministry, executive coaching, and mentoring for over 30 years. After becoming a Christian in college, he attended Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth and began journaling regularly. In 1989, he moved to Atlanta to work with Dr. Charles Stanley.
Then in 2004, he began emailing daily devotionals to his small group. From there, he founded Wisdom Hunters, Inc., now reaching over 100,000 people in 86 countries with his daily devotionals, blog, and devotional books. Over the past decade, he has written 500-word reflections daily. He also co-founded a consulting non-profit, Ministry Ventures, which has coached over 1,000 leaders in fundraising, board development, and more. He currently serves as the President of the Georgia division of the National Christian Foundation, helping Christians maximize their giving.
Boyd is the author of our God’s Daily Wisdom For Men Devotional, as well as his forthcoming book, Comforted by God: 100 Days of Healing and Hope for the Grief Journey, available early 2025.
Got it for a wedding gift. They loved it! It’s a great way to spend time with each other. I would recommend it.
We love it. It’s a great way to start our day before all of the craziness of our daily lives.
These verses and prayers are a meaningful way for couples to begin each day.
Needed this book to connect with my husband. Good for newly married or any couple looking to grow closer to Christ.
Love these prayers. Great for dating couples also.
He and his wife, Rita, live in Roswell, Georgia. They enjoy hiking, reading, traveling, and spending time with their four daughters and twelve beloved grandchildren.
Rita comments: “Boyd has always been good.” He had a truck washing business which paid his way and Rita’s way through college. Boyd has 4 daughters and “he’s the best girl-daddy ever,” says Rita. Through health challenges, he has grown in his love for the Lord and understands at a deeper level His compassion and His long-suffering.”
Boyd grew up with a single mom raising 3 boys, so Rita’s family impacted him. “Love was their evangelism,” Boyd says. He started dating Rita his senior year of high school, and her dad said he had to go to church. He heard a sermon that said something he’d never heard before: “You have a heavenly father that loves you.” His father had left when he was 5. Boyd now loves to invest in his own family as a father of 4 and grandfather of 12.
Boyd’s passion is talking to men about wisdom. As 1 Cor. 1:24 says, “Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.” The closer we come to Christ, the more we have access to wisdom. The intimacy and time we invest with him leads to greater wisdom.
“When I read Mere Christianity, I felt I was loving God with my mind. Augustine’s Confessions, loving God with my heart Nouwen, Beloved, loving God with my soul.”
