Since Lincoln wrote his name in this Bible Devotional printed in the 1850’s and kept in his coat pocket, I believe Carl Sandburg was of the opinion that it was well used by our 16th President.

The Christian fruit of Lincoln's life is just that... he bore much fruit for the kingdom, IMHO...

Acted against the sin of racism (it is a sin)
Was a great steward of the office of the Presidency and labored over every executive decision in agony
Remembered God in his public speeches... but not God in name only... Lincoln invoked the righteous judgments and “logic” of Christ in his writings and speeches.

Even in his extemporaneous remarks after the victories of Vicksburg and Gettysburg around the fourth of July of 1863, Lincoln spoke with wonder about that great 19th century miracle of how both Jefferson and Adams died on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration, on July 4 1826... and Lincoln wondered if the Gettysburg/Vicksburg “victories” weren't also a sign from the Lord.

Great. But none of this is shown from some random bible.
