When I was given Jesus Calling by Sarah Young as a gift six years ago, it was as if I had uncovered a treasure chest of gold. Not much has changed now that I’ve read her newest book, Jesus Lives.
Second in a series of devotionals unlike any that I’ve ever read before, Jesus Lives is written from the perspective of our loving Savior, as if Jesus Himself were speaking words of comfort directly to the heart of your need. Each page tackles another issue, a struggle perhaps, in the Christian walk–topics such as trust, endurance, adversity, peace, assurance, and intimacy with Jesus, to name a few. Each devotional is followed by several Scripture verses that support each day’s reading.
The author herself says, “We will experience many losses over the years, but the one thing we cannot live without is the one thing we can never lose–Jesus’ loving Presence. Even this great truth, however, many not be enough to carry us confidently through our toughest times, unless it is accompanied by experiential knowledge of Jesus.”
Without any hesitation, I give this book a full 5 stars. If you are looking to really get to know Jesus experientially or you want to hear Him speak directly to your soul and quiet your fearful heart as only He can, I encourage you to read Jesus Lives by Sarah Young.
