For Such a Time as This: Stories of Women from the Bible, Retold for Girls
Each day offers encouragement and hope from a Savior who is closer than you can imagine and who will never leave you.
Grow in a deep personal faith while reading a message that everyone needs to hear and embrace deep within the soul. Jesus Calling(R) is a devotional that is read daily by more than six million people. This version includes the beloved original content, but with a modern cover that will appeal to a younger audience.
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but journaling helped her grow closer to God, and from that experience Jesus Calling(R) came to be.
It is Sarah's fervent prayer that our Savior may bless every reader with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.
Meets national education standards.
For around 2,000 years, Jesus has been at the center of pretty much everything, and no one has had a bigger influence on daily lives than Jesus. Most of us think we have a pretty good idea of who Jesus is and what he did.
Sometimes the people we know the least are the people we're around the most. Isn't that weird?
We're convinced that we really know them, because they've always been part of our lives. But we need to get reintroduced to them, because we don't really know them as well as we think we do.
This highly interactive, 40-day teen devotional helps young adults take a fresh look at what they think they already know about Jesus, so they can grow in their love and friendship with him and live the life they didn't know was possible.
Get ready for an exciting, life-changing adventure!
