JESUS CALLING : ENJOYING PEACE IN HIS PRESENCE - SARAH YOUNG
This book is a
uniquely inspired one, filled with devotion that treasures from heaven for each
and every day of the year by the missionary Sarah Young. Sarah was writing her
own words in her prayer journal, but ultimately she decided to be more
attentive to the God’s voice and started to put them down using pen and paper. In
these wonderful pages are the powerful words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid
on her heart. Words of reassurance, comfort, and hope. These Words are those
that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy
His peace.
This journey of hers changed her and many
others around the world forever. It was quite weird in the beginning but later
her monologue became modified into a dialogue with the Almighty. This helped
her getting closer to God. Now as she shares her writing it has become a
blessing to whom so ever is reading it. People are using her messages throughout
the world. All this is written from Jesus’ point of view hence the name “Jesus
Calling”. This is her ardent prayer to God that those who read it may feel his
presence and peace in ever deeper measure.
This book is a
great path to discover what God sounds like, but it cannot replace the Bible.
The author is clear about this point too. Being so one can let the divine words
from the bock sprinkle our soul. It is all described in one word “Refreshing”.
It has a year’s worth of daily readings, which takes us closer to God. The
subjects for each day are certainly relevant for most of us: peace, joy and
faith. Gratitude and quiet are emphasized. The devotions are short. They are of
a perfect length for the busy lifestyles we lead. Every quote is supported by
two or more relevant verses of Scripture.
This is a book
with beautiful high-quality pages and readable print. There is a bookmark
ribbon for marking the pages and a nice page for inscribing the book. Its size
in quite small and this makes it easy to keep it with us and carry it in a
purse, briefcase, backpack, etc. This is surely a lovely gift for any Christian.
Pick one for yourself and for others.
Finding true peace and fulfillment in a life or prayer and listening to the Lord takes time and commitment, but it can be done.

With so many troubled souls in the world, everyone who is touched by and spreads the words Sarah has placed on paper will soon make this world a better place. Imagine a world without strife and with a supreme belief in the Peace of the Lord. It's the type of world we all should strive for.
