"After reading a devotion called "God Calling", this author also sought God with all of her heart, and she was inspired to write this devotional book filled with what she heard. Each devotion is based on scripture (which is cited), and written conversationally. It is a reminder of what was told to us in the Bible, put into modern contexts and understanding. Thank you Sarah."
"My new favorite daily devotional. Sarah writes this as the voice of Jesus talking to you. A few daily Scripture verses and then a paragraph or two of what Jesus "said" to her about them. Easy enough that I can do it every single day, yet thought-provoking enough that I have something to meditate on after the book is put down and "quiet time" is over."
"I must admit, I'm usually not one to like devotional books. I've read many over the years and hate the "fluff" that is found in many devotionals. I find that what is given to the reader is a few short paragraphs that amount to "Christianity Lite" and I find I'm always looking for more. As a reviewer for Thomas Nelson Publishers, though, I decided to give this devotional a try.
This devotional book, with a reading for each day of the year, is the most unique devotional I've ever read. The author, Sarah Young, decided to listen to God daily with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. The result is this book...with 365 messages from Jesus to the author. What I like about this devotional is that it becomes a very personal read. Written in the first person...the voice of Jesus...the words speak directly to your soul. It's like sitting down with Jesus over a cup of coffee and hearing what His words are for you for that day. And it isn't fluff. It is a daily reminder of how to live in relationship with Jesus and how to let the Spirit flow through you.
If you desire a devotional book but want something just a little bit different than the typical devotional, I highly recommend this book!"
"What a lovely gift book that just fits in the palm of your hand. It contains short devotions for every day of the year. Each day presents a new thought or a new focus that is given to the reader as if Jesus Himself were speaking. It may stump some people that the author writes in this manner, but the reader must remember that this is what Sarah perceives, i.e. her inspirational diary.
The author and her husband have been missionaries, planting churches in Japan and Australia. Reading Sarah’s daily devotionals one gains a deeper perspective of her desire for intimacy with the Lord. She had been journaling faithfully as she studied God’s Word, but felt that when she wrote a monologue, she was doing the talking. When prompted in her spirit to start writing down what she felt that the Lord was impressing upon her heart for that day, she realized that this was now more a dialogue!
Sarah reminds readers that her writings are not inspired as are the Scriptures, but that what she was writing was indeed consistent with the unchanging standard, the Word of God.
This little treasure is intended to be read one day at a time, with the Bible open to the verses beneath each devotional. These mini messages can focus your personal time of reflection on the circumstances of your own life that need to be addressed; one nugget of truth, on which you can meditate throughout the whole day.
I would have preferred that the Scriptures listed at the end of each devotional be written out, rather than one having to look them up.
Enjoy! It's a lovely and inspirational gift book!"
