Book Review

My first introduction to Sarah Young was when my very good friend gave me her book Jesus Calling last October during a girlfriend retreat. I was so blessed by that book that when Thomas Nelson offered her newest book Jesus Lives I ordered it immediately.

Like Jesus Calling, Jesus Lives is written in the first person as if Jesus is talking to you directly, which He is.  The format is however, different.  Whereas Jesus Calling is in a daily devotional format, Jesus Lives is separated by subject matter.

There are 46 different topics addressed in this book, but in the 359 pages these topics come up numerous times throughout the book.  Some of them are Abiding in Him, Trials, Emptiness, His Presence, His Sufficiency as well as many many more topics that are pertinent to our walk daily with the Lord.

This book is great to be used as a daily devotion or as an encouragement and learning tool when you need a specific word to help in your life.  The author includes the scriptures that confirm what is said and they are written out for you in case you are somewhere that your Bible is not handy.

This book is a real blessing and is a tool to give you understanding of the Lords love and care for you in all that comes your way.
