Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young is a book of daily devotionals. One devotional for each day of the year. After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, Ms. Young decided to be more attentive to the Saviors voice and began listening to what he was saying. Each day she would spend time alone with the Savior and as He spoke to her she would write down His words. Jesus Calling is the result of her encounters with the Savior. These powerful pages conveyed messages of hope, comfort and reassurance and made her constantly aware of Jesus’ presence and allowed her to experience His peace. Each devotional message is worded as if Jesus were speaking to you. Ms. Young has a degree in philosophy from Wellesley College, she holds graduate degrees in psychology and counseling from Tufts, Georgia State and Covenant Seminary. She has traveled extensively with her missionary husband counseling and planting churches in Japan and Australia. She and her husband have two children. Ms. Young currently ministers to the Japanese people living in Perth Australia.

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young is a wonderful devotional filled with inspirational, encouraging and spiritual messages for each day of the year. Each message contains words of reassurance, hope and inspiration. They are a delight to read and evoke feelings of warmth, love and companionship with our Savior Jesus Christ. I found the messages to be thought-provoking and overflowing with promise that I too can have a more personal relationship with Jesus. Sarah Young states that themes of thankfulness and trust recurred often during her listening times. I found the recurrence of themes to be advantageous and encouraging. I enjoyed reading this small devotional. Its compact size is perfect for carrying with you anywhere you go. Read each day as they come or read multiple days at a time. You won’t be disappointed. The wording is simple, the messages are clear and the devotions are written as if Jesus is speaking to you personally. I highly recommend this devotional to anyone seeking a more personal relationship with Jesus.

Happy reading,
