After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to “listen” to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but they were helping her grow closer to God. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesu

Review by Pauline Kinasz for Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence

This book has an excerpt to read for every day of the year. So far I have read Jan. 1 through Jan. 28. In addition to those 28 days I have jumped around reading random pages and I have been so encouraged by what I have read. Each reading is a half a page to one page long. The book is small so the reading time is very short. Each page is written as if Jesus is talking directly to you. There are scripture references listed at the bottom of each page as well. So if you are looking for a great devotional book that will help you get closer to the Lord that won’t take up a large amount of time this is the book for you.

I absolutely love this devotion book. Sarah Young speaks from the heart and puts into words what I can not form but what I do feel.
It is like “listening in a mirror.” Listening, not reading. I can read the book, but listen to God’s voice in my soul – where the Holy Spirit reflects (hence, mirror) that from those in whom He lives.I highly recomend this as a must have devotion.

A few months ago I joined the Thomas Nelson Publishers blog book review team. What a novel idea. I signed up, agreed to write a review and publish it on my blog as well as one other commercial site. In exchange, I received the book I chose to review in the mail.
I chose “Jesus Calling,” a devotional by Sarah Young.
I was drawn to the content based on a few tweets from others reading the devotional. I grew up in my faith with the Oswald Chambers classic “My Utmost for His Highest.” I love my online devotional time on the Jesuit site [..]–one of my favourite experiences on the web. I also love Henri Nouwen’s “Bread for the Journey.”
Now “Jesus Calling” is fast becoming another classic in my life. Sarah Young writes what she hears Jesus speaking to her in her spirit. She has honed her listening through years and years of writing in her journal and being attentive to what the Spirit wants to say to her.
As I have spent time in “Jesus Calling, “I have heard Jesus speaking to me many times in beautiful, fresh ways. Sometimes I hear Sarah’s personal filter–she is the pen, the messenger, after all–but I also recognize this as the voice of my Shepherd.
Here are a few of my favourite calls:
* “Rest in My Presence, allowing Me to take charge of this day. Do not bolt into the day like a racehorse suddenly released. Instead, walk purposefully with Me, letting Me direct your course one step at a time.”
* “You are on the right path. Listen more to Me, and less to your doubts. I am leading you along the way designed just for you.”
* “You must discipline yourself to live within the boundaries of today. It is in the present moment that I walk close to you, helping you carry your burdens. Keep your focus on My Presence in the present.”
I definitely recommend “Jesus Calling.” My only caveat comes with the actual design. Here’s what I suggest: Please don’t judge this book by its cover. I was surprised when I opened the parcel I received in the mail. I was actually somewhat taken aback. My heart sank somewhat, because this book came dressed as a very dated, and forgive me for this, missionary. You get the picture. I had to force myself to pass through the visual barrier. The size and design also visually placed it in the gift book category, which surprised me. I am in my thirties and I have never bought a Christian gift book. That’s just me.
As I dove into the content, however, wanting to keep up my end of the agreement, I was drawn in by the fresh writing. This book has taken me new places with Jesus. There’s a lot of wisdom here, so much Beauty and great Depth.
“Jesus Calling” is worth laying down all your preconceived ideas about where you might receive and delving deeply into this revelation of Jesus.
So, while the design placed this book for me in a different audience; the content of this book crosses generations for those who want to experience Jesus in a fresh way.
If you can pierce through the visual barrier of the book jacket, the content will grab your heart, because it is Jesus speaking though one of his beloved daughters.

This is a great book, a friend gave it to me when my father was dying with lung cancer. It kept me focused on what was really important in life and how to keep in touch with God through this trying time. A simple reading everyday that was just what I needed to hear.

As a busy Christian woman, I sometimes find it difficult to sit and enjoy being in the presence of the Lord. I have several devotional books on my shelf, but none seemed to give me the spiritual boost I was looking for. That is, until I started reading “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young.
“Jesus Calling” is a devotional gift book containing 365 devotions written from Jesus’ point of view. Though each daily message is short, they are consistently relevant and personal for people of all ages and from all walks of life. Each page contains the very promises and blessings found Jesus.
From the day I opened Jesus Calling, I was hooked. Every day, I look forward to reading about the blessings God has for me. Sarah Young did an amazing job in writing each devotional; it truly feels as if God is speaking to me through each page. I honestly can’t think of anyone this devotional wouldn’t be perfect for! The devotions are short enough to be read in just a few spare minutes, but are powerful enough that they stay on your mind throughout the day.
I can’t say enough about how much it has blessed me in the short time I have been reading it. If you are looking for a way to make the scriptural promises of the Bible more personal, this book is perfect for you.
