Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

“Jesus Calling”, is one of the best devotional books I have ever read. Sarah Young, spent time with God daily, and recorded what he was saying to her. She then turned these moments into a devotional and shared them with all of us. I really appreciated that it is God’s voice in all the daily entries. God is written in the first person, with the reader in the second person. The author has included bible verses that came to her during her time with God. These verses fit really well the daily reading. The daily entries are only a couple paragraphs. However, they are really inspirational. God’s words are reassuring, comforting in times of trouble, loving, and give us hope. Each month includes a different picture at the top of the each page. All these pictures relate to God, and the gifts he has given us. The thing I value most about this book, is it inspires me. This book has made me realize the importance of my own alone time with God every day. I need to listen to what God is telling me, and record his words in my own journal. Just imagine how comforting and life changing these journals would be in your life. I believe God has a message for each of us every day, and we need to reach out to him to receive it.
