I loved "Jesus Calling" and was so glad to be able to grab another 150 days of new devotionals in "Jesus Today".This prayerful instruction captures Scripture and brings it alive in the way Sarah Young writes it in the 1st person as if it is Jesus speaking. It is written from her heart as she's experienced a long season of ill-health due to Lymes Disease. As a result they are words full of encouragement for those going through particularly difficult seasons. However, we all have tough days and so I found all the devotionals very relevant and applicable to my present situations.Both books are such wonderful examples of praying Scripture which I've found tremendously beneficial.These devotionals fill you with hope and confidence that Jesus is walking alongside us each day caring for us deeply. He so desires that we love Him passionately in return.Highly recommended. Ms. Young also wrote Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence, a book that I enjoyed and read last year. Jesus Today is written in a different formant than Ms. Young’s previous book. This format disappointed me a little at first because I really liked that format and looked forward to reading it in the same manner. However as I read further into the book I began to see the other reason that the book did not appeal to me, is that I am going through the grieving process of my cancer treatment and Ms. Young’s book was just to hopeful. However, it shook me out of my lethargy, so I prayed and the book began to speak to me. I feel bad that I am not giving this book a more positive review because I know other people who liked this book. It is just that at times this book seemed more like it was dictating to me while including verses from the Bible. I would recommend this book to other people.
Jesus Calling is a hard act to follow. Enjoyable but I will gift Jesus calling more.

Got this from my mom-in-law. Great for helping you refocus off of your small lens.

Not quite as good as Jesus Calling, but a highly recommended read!
