I love finding new devotionals, and my current favorite is ‘Jesus Calling‘. Family Christian Stores sent me a copy of this devotional book to take a look at and share my thoughts with you. For a normal book review, I would read the whole book, give you a synopsis and then give you my thoughts. But this devotional book has one devotion a day for each day of the year.
Here’s what the Family Christian Website says about the book:
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to “listen” to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but they were helping her grow closer to God. They are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling.
Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless you with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure. To that end, she shares Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence, featuring devotions for every day of the year. In these powerful pages are the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart. Words of reassurance, comfort, and hope. Words that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.
This remarkable book includes a year’s worth of daily readings from Young’s journals to bring you closer to Christ and move your time with Him from monologue to a dialogue.
And here’s what I love: even though each page is short, there is some really great material for you to consider, ponder and think about. Take it with you throughout your day. Talk about it with friends. Pray about what each page is telling you!
