Jesus Lives Devotional Guide Review and Giveaway

By

In the next week you will be making resolutions for the next year. Some of you may resolve to spend more time with God and seek out a good devotional guide. I have been reading Jesus Lives by Sarah Young during the month on December. It is a wonderful little book of almost a half a year’s worth of thoughts based on scripture. Sarah Young has written very practical pieces that address everyday struggles for Christians. Each piece is written as if God is speaking directly to you about the ways He will guide you through those struggles. Along with a devotional piece there are three or four scriptures that further illustrate and support it. Each devotional piece has a theme and most of the themes are repeated throughout the book. You could go through this book in order or by theme if you desire.

I have read a number of devotional books. Some were sweet and tender thoughts about God. Some were written in very intellectual prose. Jesus Lives is tender in some places, but very really and challenging in others. I have been drawn back to reread some of the devotions over and over again. They have really made me think about my relationship with God and how I live my life. If you are looking to grow in your daily walk with God, this would be great book to use.

Here is a sample of one passage on trails: “…The best way to lay your problems down is: Bring them to Me. Unburden yourself by pouring your heart to Me, for I am your Refuge. As you release your woes to Me (even temporarily), your vision improves and you can see me more clearly. Linger with Me while My Light shines powerfully into your heart…”(taken from p. 12 of Jesus Lives)

I have really enjoyed spending time reading Jesus Lives this month and would love to pass on this special book to one of you.

  14. I would add this book to my daily devotionals each morning. I have been reading Sarah Young’s “Jesus Calling” as one of my devotionals and it’s really good.

  17. I would love to read this devotional guide during my morning prayer time.

  30. I would love to go through this devotional with my husband. He recently said he wants to have a family devotional time and this would be good to use.

  34. Stopping by from SITS! Thanks for visiting my blog! Would def use it for my quiet name. Looking for a new devo for the new year!

  41. I plan to give this book to my neighbor. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

  44. When I scrolled down to this post, I didn’t realize it was a giveaway. I just wanted to comment, thanks for the review. I have been reading through my devotional book for years and have been thinking about getting a new one (nothing’s replacing my Bible, however!).

  59. I’d add this to my morning quiet time. And then I’d probably gift it to a family member when I was done.

  63. I would use this to get through some hard times ahead. It’s only through my faith that I have been able to get through all that I have. I know every tool that I have helps me that much more.

  64. I would like to have a new devotional book to add to one of my quick breaks. Thank you for this giveaway opportunity.

  67. This sounds like one to read and keep and re read or eventually pass on to someone dear to you or someone who needs to be confronted, or consoled as you have been by reading the book. Thanks for this opportunity.

  87. I would use this to increase my bible readings (this is one of the areas I am the weakest in regarding my Christian faith). Thank you

  91. i did resolve to spend more time with the Lord this year. i would love this book to be part of it 🙂

  92. I would use it for my own personal growth, write a note on the inside cover suggesting passing it on to a loved one and give to my mom. She’s going through a tough time right now and this is the kind of message she needs. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com

  102. I’d use this when I don’t have something specific I want to read. Like the other night I was trying to remember which Psalms were written at Ein Gedi, so I looked that up and read those, but on a night I wouldn’t have something like that I’d be interested in, this would be great.

  107. This is something I would love to read everyday. To help me grow as a new Christian.

  109. I would read the devotional in the morning before I start my day. My Bible study ended last month and the spring semester has yet to begin it would be nice to use this devotional in the meantime.
