JESUS CALLING FOR CHRISTMAS is an absolutely beautifully done gift devotional (for you, a family member, or a friend) with 50 heartwarming devotions, beautiful pictures with verses, and encouragement.

In Ms. Young's trademark style, these devotions are written in first person as if Jesus Himself were writing them. The verses are in the NIV version, if you are a member of the KJV only crowd.

I absolutely LOVE this devotional and will be putting it out for any and all to use as they visit our home during this holiday season and will likely use it for family devotions as well. Maybe even personal ones. This warms my heart.

A lovely gift for this upcoming holiday season.

I was given a copy free. All opinions are my own.

This is a beautiful and colorful devotional book. In the Sarah Young style of all her other Jesus Calling devotions, she steps up on this one and gives us a wonderful book. This is a devotional for the Christmas Season, but can be read all year through. You get the bible verses for the season, devotional and a very delightful color photo. Each day you can read within 5-10 minutes and it will change your outlook for the whole day.

I loved this little hardcover book as much as her others, and the color photos are magnificent. I like how this one is centered around Christmas, the season and the real meaning. This is a great holiday gift for anyone and any ages. You can pick this up and read each day, read as much as you want or just skip around.... very wonderful book that you will want and be proud to give as a gift any time of the year.

First and foremost, this book is gorgeous! The cover is simple and festive, and that theme continues with each page featuring a variety of stunning images perfect for the season--- snowy landscapes, stunning cranberries, twinkling Christmas lights, etc. It's definitely one of those books that you are going to want to leave sitting on the coffee table all season long to go back and look at time and time again.

But it's not just the images you will fall in love with, but the words as well. It is packed absolutely full of scripture--- moreso scriptures than devotions it seems. Some of these are the verses we have come to associate with the Christmas season, while others so perfectly get us into that spirit as the day draws near. The devotions themselves are short, but still thought provoking--- making them easy to read and ponder during this oh so busy holiday season.

If you already love the Jesus Calling series, you will certainly love this one too. It is the same style that we have come to expect, just in a fun and festive Christmas package. The Christmas fanatic in me is absolutely loving it. Still I know many others aren't as comfortable with the Jesus Calling series. As I said, each devotion is written as though Jesus is speaking to us, and some feel as though this is un-biblical. We all have to make that decision for ourselves of course, but personally, I feel as though it is a great read... so long as we remember that these words ARE written by a human, and to always put the Bible first and foremost. I think if we look at it from that perspective, we can enjoy it for the creative devotions they were intended to be.

I have all these books and read them every day. It is so spiritually and it really bring me deep peace.
