Favorite of All Devotionals

Sarah Young is really being blessed by the Lord with her devotionals, bibles and other things that are being produced. But I was so impressed with this devotional that I bought the book form for my boyfriend, both sisters and my friend in California and myself. I also bought this for my Kindle Fire. She takes scripture and explains it as if Jesus was sitting on the couch with you, talking like a friend, which He is of course. The short devotions hit-home each day and is so Spirit-filled. I know this was straight from the Lord.  I have never seen a more beautiful devotional book and so wonderfully written.

This is such an awesome devotional.  I've had a few but this is truly one of the best.  I purchased a few extras just to bless friends.

We really enjoy this devotional.  My 8 year old daughter offers to read it out loud every evening, and then the scripture reference which follows each devotional gets us beautifully into the Word of God.  Written from the perspective of Jesus speaking to the reader, it gives the reader a very personal experience reflecting God's real love for us  not readily found with other devotionals we have tried.

I am going on my 4th time through the Bible. Of all the Devotional Bibles I have read, this one remains my favorite!

I'm simply loving it! The very best devotional ever! I have others, but this one addresses the deep innermost recesses of the human soul. I highly recommend this devotional to everyone who sincerely desires a deeper and closer walk with God.

I have used several daily devotionals before, but this has become my hands-down favorite.  It's one page for each day.  Each page begins with a short verse or fragment that serves as the key idea and follows with a couple paragraphs of verses and fragments that are stitched together to continue the flow of that idea.  At the bottom of the page the passage references are listed so that readers can further reflect if they wish.

What I like about this methodology is that by the end of the page I am left with the truthfullness of the key verse deeply implanted.  The way the passages have been pulled together they serve as a great cloud of witnesses and leave the impression that, "yes, the Bible does indeed say that this is true."  I find that it effectively brings me to prayer and adoration regarding whatever truth or promise or attribute of God is being highlighted.  It has served as a great way to begin my day.

And for a few notes on the particular format of the book I am reviewing here, it is leather-bound and verses are in the ESV translation (which I personally love).  It feels like a great price and quality for what you get, and the small size makes it great for my office desk.  Because the content for each page is not extensive, the text is a clearly readable size.  It's also perfect for a gift.  The binding has enough embelishments to make the whole book look very pleasing but for under $15 bucks it's very affordable.  I've given away 10 copies or so already.

Here's an example page so you can get an idea about what a daily devotional is like...

---------------------------------
April 26

"His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!"

  Underneath are the everlasting arms. * But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."  Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" * The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.

  The beloved of the LORD dwells in safety.  The High God surrounds him all day long, and dewells between his shoulders. * Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. * He who touches you touches the apple of his eye.

  They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all.

Song of Songs 2:6. Deut 33:27. Matt 14:30, 31. Ps 3723,24. Deut 33:12. 1 Pet 5:7. Zech 2:8. John 10:28,29
----------------------------------

That's it.  Short and sweet, but Oh so effective.  If that page above worked for you then don't hesitate to buy this book and maybe put a few extra in the cart for gifts.

This is by far my favorite devotional book. I plan to read it daily along with my bible for the rest of my life. Very good quality binding a plus also.

I absolutely LOVE this devotional! Asheritah has put together such an inspiring, convicting, and encouraging book that helps reflect on all of the attributes of Jesus. So much more than the happy, fluffy, pretty parts of faith, but the nitty-gritty of who Jesus is! I absolutely love it and can't wait to share it and read it over again each year!

I received a copy of this this book in exchange for my honest review.

I love this devotional book. I have the smaller version, but I bought the large-print version for my husband. It always has inspirational messages that speak right to the heart. I highly recommend it!

I was given this book by R. Flynt's daughter as a Christmas gift. It has been such a blessing to me. It is based on scripture and well written , very clear to grasp. The poetry is lovely also. I try to red a page every night and am always glad when I take time and to. I hope more and more will give this devotional books a try.....it is certainly one of my very favorites.

This is one of my favorite devotional books. I have read the book many times, and each reading challenges me to an even greater focus on my prayer life. I wasn't aware of the study guide until recently, but after having looked through it I think the guided questions at the end of each chapter are a wonderful addition to an already excellent book.

I love starting my morning with prayer and reading this short devotional each day.  Then Sarah Young follows each daily reading with scriptural evidence, which I also read and meditate on (if time allows).  Although it is not always possible to sit down for long on my busy mornings, this devotional is the perfect way to get my heart focused on Jesus before going off to work or to whatever else the day may hold.  I can't tell you how many times her words, inspired by our maker, was exactly the words I needed to hear that day.  I also enjoy giving this book as a gift. This last purchase here on Amazon was a gift for my mom.  If you have been wanting to get closer to Jesus or just find time to be in his presence more, try this book!  I highly recommend it!

This is an AWESOME devotional.  About two dozen of my closest friends have it now too, and really enjoy it.  (Don't be fooled, our wives read it too, and they all like it.)  The author gets deep thoughts across that hit home, in just a few paragraphs. Sometimes w/in a single sentence.
In a nutshell, its kind of like a modern-day, brief Oswald Chambers (Utmost for His Highest)  It travels really well too.

This is one of my favorite books for devotional reading. The language used is very simple. The message is the essence of what it means to be a christian. The read is good for ANY denomination. This edition is the easiest one to read.

We've had our devotional for nearly a year, and we still love every page of it!

This book never ceases to amaze me.  I learn from it each day as I read to my 4 year old daughter.  She relates to the adorable illustrations, the short stories (perfect length at 1 or 2 paragraphs), the bible verse, and the prayer. She easily understands the biblical truths... and so do I!  It helps me with my walk with God, too... so it's not just for kids.  Mommies and Daddies are enlightened as well.

Definitely money well spent... and time well spent reading.

Buy one for your child and more for your friends.  It's the gift that just keeps on giving.

Children learn values and as a result, they continue to be your little blessings in life.
