I love this devotional! The daily readings are written as if Jesus is speaking directly to the reader. It uses verses and/or combinations of verses for its basis. The readings promote trust and confidence in the Jesus Christ.
The one thing to keep in mind is that the passages in this book are Young's personal interpretations of these particular verses, so one might want to look them up in the Bible oneself for a little more context.

My friend has this book and was always reading me passages over this phone. When I received my own copy from PBS I was so excited. Now I am sharing passages with my friends. This book brings peace in this hurried world we live in.

This compact, "soft" hard-cover book is easily mobile.
It's very intimate and the author does an excellent job at revealing some of the very heartfelt things that The Lord's Holy Spirit has said to her. The daily reflections are timeless and very encouraging. They're not long but engaging enough to invoke pleasant, aromatic, grateful thanks to The Lord for speaking so gingerly to His people.
Here's a RANDOM sample from the book (I literally just flipped open the book):
JUNE 26 - "STAY CALMLY conscious of Me today, no matter what. Remember that I go before you as well as with you into the day. Nothing takes Me by surprise. I will not allow circumstances to overwhelm you, so long as you look to Me. I will help you cope with whatever the moment presents. Collaborating with Me brings blessings that far outweigh all your troubles (italicized). Awareness of My Presence contains Joy that can endure all eventualities."
Psalm 23:1-4 (NKJV)
2 Corinthians 4:16-17
What lovely, gentle, peaceful, and simplistic wording! Only God can warm, encourage, and remind our hearts through words such as these. :)
Men would benefit from these words too; because these words are after all, from The Lord directly into the heart of Sarah Young. However, perhaps because of the book's aesthetic design, men may not easily gravitate towards it. But the book is gentle, easy to understand and receive from, and makes you want to share the daily reflections with others, because whenever you above received (from God) freely, your heart naturally wants to give freely.
Amen.

This is a fantastic devotional. Taken so clearly from scripture, it is like a love letter from the Lord. I highly recommend to to anyone who wants there relationship with Jesus to grow.
This devotions book is one of the best I have ever owned. I read it daily and it is so uplifting and brings out the best me in each morning. I recommend this book to anyone who is a Christian and in fact, anyone who is seeking God's word. I also got one for my son and plan to get one for my daughter. I love the book.
'It would be hard to overstate the impact of the writings of Sarah Young. She is a stream in the desert. Her words quench our thirst.' 'I've given this beautiful book to so many people I love, and I've come back to it myself again and again. I'm so thankful for what God has done in my own life and the lives of people I love through this extraordinary book.' -My friend gave [Jesus Calling] to me years ago, and it has become part of my daily devotional. I've bought every Sarah Young book since. They just meet the needs of the heart 'Jesus Calling has been such an inspirational tool in my daily walk with Jesus. I was first introduced to Jesus Calling three years ago, and since then, I've given countless copies to friends and family in hopes that it will help them in their spiritual walk as it has in mine. This book perfectly encapsulates Christ's love for us, and it supports each message with scriptural evidence'This simple book illustrates the art of biblical meditation and the power of God's Word in giving us daily strength for daily living.
I am finding this devotional to be meaningful as it draws me closer to God each day. Written as God speaking to you and me, it makes a significant impact. I will likely use it over and over again.
Excellent book
very nice
"I am your strength and shield. I plan out each day and have it ready for you, long before you arise from bed. I also provide the strength you need each step of the way. Instead of assessing your energy level and wondering about what's on the road ahead, concentrate on staying in touch with Me. My power flows freely into you through our open communication. Refuse to waste energy worrying, and you will have strength to spare."
This book is written as though Jesus is speaking to you with all of His love, assurance, and peace. I can't say enough to praise these books by Sarah Young. I read mine every morning and get them to give to friends whenever I can.

this is by far the best daily devotions book I have had the pleasure to read. I buy copies to give to friends and folks that need to hear the voice of God.
