About This Book

Devotions written as if Jesus is speaking directly to a child's heart. Based on her original Jesus Calling, this version has been adapted in a language and fashion that kids and tweens can relate to their everyday lives. After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down what she believed He was saying to her through Scripture.

Our Review

This daily devotional offers children a gentle, accessible way to build a personal connection with their faith, presenting 365 short readings written as if Jesus is speaking directly to them. Adapted from Sarah Young's bestselling adult devotional, the language and concerns addressed are carefully tailored to resonate with a child's everyday experiences, from school friendships to moments of worry. The foundation of each entry is rooted in scripture, providing a trustworthy bridge between biblical truth and a young reader's world. This structure makes the profound concept of hearing from God feel immediate and personal for a developing spiritual life.

What sets this Christian devotional apart is its intimate, first-person voice, which can be incredibly comforting for children who wonder what a relationship with Jesus feels like. It is particularly well-suited for family reading time or for a child to explore independently, offering a consistent and reassuring point of connection each day. Parents seeking to nurture their child's faith will find this to a valuable tool for making spiritual concepts tangible. The cumulative effect of a year's worth of these gentle conversations can help lay a lasting foundation of comfort, guidance, and love in a child's heart.
