"Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence" by Sarah Young

After many long years of writing a prayer journal, Sarah Young decided it was time to share with the world the teachings God was bestowing upon her. She started writing down in a journal whatever God was communicating to her, but after some time she realized that her writings weren’t as inspirational as Scripture, although it did help her get closer to the Lord.

She decided to re-organize her writings from Jesus’ point of view, dedicating half a page to a full page for every day of the year. Each page can be best described as bringing to you a specific teaching from Jesus. While unfortunately there were many who simply pretended to have a powerful spiritual connection with God in order to extort money from the faithful, Sarah Young doesn’t fall into that category.

When I was reading it, I felt as if each passage written down in that book had a little bit to teach me about how to live happily and prosperously while maintaining a close relationship with the Lord Almighty. Also, I should add that this book has actually carried me through some tough times; when things went bad, I went to that book and was reminded that regardless of what happens, the Lord does indeed love me, and is always by my side.

All in all, I would just like to conclude by saying that if you are looking is a well thought-out devotional book that will help you grow closer to God without taking up too much time or resources, then you should at least take a look at Jesus Calling; it helped me, it helped others, and there is no reason as to why it cannot help you.
