What does Jesus have to say to you?

Ever wonder what Jesus might say to you if you met him on the street? Chances are his message to you wouldn't be all that different from what it was two thousand years ago, even though you live in a totally different world. You can discover what he said--and what it means for you--by reading his words preserved in the Bible.

Life offers you 90 short devotions that help you encounter Jesus's words for yourself. Popular author Melody Carlson unpacks the message that Jesus wanted his followers to understand. Then she shows you how it applies to your life during the highs and lows of school, family life, relationships, and more.

If you want to read the Bible for all it's worth, check out this second book in the Words from the Rock series.

This review is from: Life: A Teen Devotional (Words from the Rock) (Paperback)

What does Jesus have to say to you? This book includes 90 short devotions that help teens encounter Jesus' words. Written by bestselling teen fiction author, Melody Carlson, this book is relevant and deep without appearing to be that way. Each devotion includes a passage of scripture, Melody's take of what it means, a short prayer, a "Stone for the Journey" or a quick truth to remember, and a final scripture to tie is all together. This is the perfect book for a teen who wants a quick and meaty devotional.
