Lenten Book Review: Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young 

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young 

Reviewed by Christopher Russell

God provided the days as instruments to pace our lives in His infinite wisdom. And such inspires the format of Jesus Calling: 365 short, concise missives for daily spiritual reflection.  Each reading is written in first-person, as the author takes the liberty of giving voice to Jesus. As such, each reading becomes a miniature homily, as if Jesus himself delivered them. Jesus Calling is not truly the Word of God but a portal to recommended scripture references. Think of this book as a “One-a-Day” spiritual supplement – ideal for busy people. You may be surprised with how often the daily reading immediately resonates with issues on your mind and in your heart.
