Product Description
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 Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless you with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

SARAH YOUNG is quietly leading thousands of women worldwide on a journey of intimacy with Christ. Sarah has a philosophy degree from Wellesley College, a counseling degree from Georgia State University, a Master’s degree from Tufts University, and studied with Francis Schaeffer’s L’Abri Fellowship. Sarah and her husband have traveled around the world planting churches and counseling, and they currently reside in Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME BOOK!, January 28, 2005

By	Pauline Kinasz (Reno, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE devotional book that you absolutely must have!, April 4, 2005

By	Sherian Oakley (Tullahoma,TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Peace for Everyday Living, March 12, 2007

By	Diana Cramer (Bloomington,, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
