Jesus Calling (Cloth, Botanical, Large Print)

This is the second Jesus Calling devotional I've reviewed you can read Jesus Today here.

I've read SO many negative reviews for this series of devotionals. And they ALL stem from Sarah Young's writing style. She writes as though God, Himself is speaking to you. And while usually, I'd be against this, I have not read anything that went against Scripture. As Christians, we're ok with reading Paul's words (Jude, John, Peter, James) and treating it on par with the literal words from Jesus and God. 

So how do we get so riled up over this series of devotionals? In the introduction of this book, Sarah explains why she writes in this manner: to help readers feel more personally connected with Him (God). She also makes it clear that the Bible is the only infallible, inerrant Word of God. She's not attempting to usurp the Bible's role in our lives. Contrary to that she provides Scriptural references that back up what she writes, that shows that God does indeed feel this way about us.

I like this specifical copy because while it is beautiful, it is large print, which is GREAT because of my poor vision. On average I can read this devotional without glasses in the morning.

(FYI: this is my honest opinion. I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.)
