Thank you, Sarah Young. This book is
exactly what I need. It reminds me to turn to Jesus. To hold His hand. To seek
His voice. To ask for and accept His peace.
Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence is a 365-day devotional with a one-page, large print
devotion, written from the perspective of Jesus, followed by a few Bible verses
for study.
The book is mid-size and cloth-covered,
adorned in a theme of gold and bluish-green foliage complete with blue-edged
pages and a cloth bookmark. And of course a Presentation page—a nice touch for
gift giving.
Young begins this book with a few
pages of autobiography, in which she tells readers of how she listens to the
Lord and writes based on the peace she feels while in His presence. As with all
of Young’s devotionals, this book is meant to be read slowly, in quiet
contemplation.
Throughout these pages, Young
reminds her readers of the rest and peace that God gives. Reminds us to soak in
it—like sitting in a tub, completely relaxed, eyes closed, surrounded and
enveloped by God’s peace. Our security is in Him. He chose us. We must relax,
know our role, and know God’s. We must trust that He knows what he’s doing.
Young reminds us that the goal is to connect with Jesus and the Bible.
My favorite takeaway from this book:
Isaiah 41:13. He never lets go of our hand. Jesus is holding my hand. Always.
Buy this book! For yourself. For a
friend. For a stranger.
The
publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through
BookSneeze®. I was not required to write a positive review.
