Jesus Today Book Review

 
   I am reviewing Jesus Today-Devotions for Kids by Sarah Young. In it are 150 daily devotions written for older kids and young teens. (tweens) The devotions are written as if Jesus is talking right to the child. Along with each devotion is a Bible verse or verses. These devotions are meant to be read in a quiet place so the child can get to know Jesus better. It is by the same author as Jesus Calling so the format is very similar. 

      A theme of Hope runs through the devotional stressing that Jesus has an amazing future for those who trust in him. Sarah Young says that “Jesus is the friend who is always with you.” 

      In the back of the book is a Scripture Index that matches a devotion to the Bible verses that accompany it. It might have been nice to do a Topic Index to be able to locate that devotion quickly. 

     This is an easy to read hardcover book. Each devotional is short and can be read in minutes. I think these will appeal to many children and could also be used as a starting point for family discussions or a children’s Bible Study. I feel this book would make a very nice gift.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for the review. All opinions are my own.
