Devotional Review: Jesus Listens for Advent & Christmas by Sarah Young

 

If you are looking for a beautifully illustrated, meaningful devotional for Advent and Christmas, Jesus Listens for Advent & Christmas by Sarah Young needs to be on your list. 

Including excerpts from Jesus Listens® and Jesus Calling, this heartwarming devotional is filled with prayers, reflections, and Bible verses. At the end of the 40 days, which runs from December 1st - January 6th, the reader will find blank, lined pages to write down their Christmas prayers.

I loved everything about Jesus Listens for Advent & Christmas: the format, the stunning illustrations, the carefully crafted devotions and reflections, and the choice of verses. The illustrations display the beauty of God's nature, the symbols of Christmas and the peace, love, and joy that fills the season. A gold ribbon allows the reader to easily keep track of their progress. Perfect as a gift for others or for you, Jesus Listens for Advent & Christmas will be one of the most touching gifts received. I look forward to reading this book again next Christmas.

Christmas Picture Book Review: Jesus Calling Advent & Christmas Prayers by Sarah Young

If you are searching for a way to share Advent with your little one, then Jesus Calling Advent & Christmas Prayers by Sarah Young is the perfect choice. Geared for children ages 0 to 4, this simple retelling brings you and your child on a journey through the book of Isaiah, into the Gospels of Luke and John, and ends with the wonderful gift found in 2 Corinthians.

Along the way, artist Katya Longhi brings the story to life with her stunning artwork in soft and warm colors. Pastel yellow circles throughout the pages offer 25 short prayers to encourage daily prayer time and to help you and your child celebrate the birth of God's greatest gift to the world.

Everything about Jesus Calling Advent & Christmas Prayers is wonderful, beautiful, and touching. Young, who passed away earlier this year, was a well-known name in Christian publishing. Reading this book for little ones, it's easy to see why.

Highly recommended!
