For Students (Youth)

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.

But you also don't run the show.

Welcome to your sophomore year of high school.

Some teenagers view this as their year to waste, but it's really your chance to be different, to find ways to step into maturity, to look for opportunities to help others, and to prepare for your elevation into the upper classes next year.

Lars Rood is your guide for this journey. He's a pastor and a former teacher, so he's talked with lots of sophomores who've wrestled with this unique season: What role do your friends play in your life? How do you make decisions? Which people are in your crowd? Who are your role models? What life-shaping habits are you developing?

Each entry in this devotional will help you walk through an important moment, issue, challenge, or opportunity that defines your sophomore year. Lars will also offer ideas on living out what you believe. In other words, this isn't just a book you read--it's a book that leads to action.
