In other places, Young’s Jesus displays a martyr complex with a sly tone of self-admiration. “Imagine,” He says, speaking of Himself, “the self-control required of a martyr who could free Himself at will!” (Dec. 20). If Jesus is real, does he need to be “ more Real?” Is there such a thing as “ more Real?” Does He need to be the “ ultimate reality?” Is not being the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Lamb slain for our sins real enough?

Happy New (Age) Year! – Top-Selling Christian Book, Jesus Calling, Derides Abraham, Father of the Christian and Jewish Faith As you begin to investigate the problems with Jesus Calling, you too will see a spiritual language (terms, concepts, names, buzzwords) that has been craftily embedded into the Jesus Calling devotional series. This spiritual language from Sarah Young and the spirit that is influencing her (that refers to itself as "Jesus") are foreign to sound biblical theology.https://web.archive.org/web/20180807131331/http://www.spiritual-research-network.com/new-spirituality-contemplative-sarah-young-jesus.html On June 27, 2017, Louisiana First Lady Donna Edwards delivered copies of Jesus Calling to women prisoners of the Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women. [11] The books were donated by The Next Door, a non-profit organization that serves women in crisis and provides Jesus Calling devotionals free of charge to jails and prisons. [12] Reread: This book has become a staple that I have added to my Bible reading for a daily time of devotion, reflection, and guidance. I like this version best of any of the editions that I have had before. I'm glad GR has adopted a way to show rereads. As I complete this on the last day of this year [2016], I want to wish everyone a blessed Happy New Year and peace to all who want it. Preferring to mix many biblical names and titles of God with numerous unbiblical concepts and many names and titles and ascriptions from pagan, cultic and occult belief systems, it is very clear that Sarah Young's "Jesus" is hostile to the biblical Jesus of Nazareth, the Lord God of eternity. Sarah Young had a degree in philosophy from Wellesley College; and earned a master's degree in biblical studies and counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis. [5]

The new deluxe edition is encased in a lovely leather cover, which adds to the appeal of this 365 day devotional. Unlike other devotionals, Young records thoughts she receives from God in a personal format, so each devotional is like a little message from God that aims directly for the heart.

I just got the book Jesus Calling in the mail today. It's a 365 daily devotional book. I normally do not like these books as most of them are very trite and do not make the reader dive deep into Scripture and your own walk with God. They tend to deal with surface issues. Sarah Young has opened up her life to us in this work of hers. After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior's voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed her—and many others around the world. Stole, Bryn. "Louisiana's first lady delivers Christian devotionals, and hope, to incarcerated women". The Advocate . Retrieved 2018-08-25. Jesus is calling out to you in the same way. Maybe you share the author’s need for a great sense of “God with you”. Or perhaps Jesus seems distant without you knowing why. Or maybe you have wandered farther from Him that you ever imagined you would. Here is a year’s worth of daily readings from Young’s journals to bring you closer to Christ and move your time with Him from monologue to a dialogue. Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. Ezekiel 3:3 (see also Rev. 10:9, 10)

Theologically, Jesus “hovering” makes no sense. Jesus is in his resurrected body interceding for the saints. [26] As the Second Person of the trinity, Jesus is omniscient and knows us and what we are doing but He is not “hovering” like a mist or cloud. This phrase suggests Jesus is bodiless and without form. The “friends freed from the limitation of humanity” are the dead friends. This piercing glint of Spiritualism is further confirmation of New Thought influence, since the two were so intertwined at the time.

With Scripture and personal reflections, New York Times bestselling author Sarah Young brings Jesus' message of peace—for today and every day. Many spiritistic/psychic channelers claim that "Jesus" speaks through them, however their non-Christian occult belief systems and principles are shown forth in the written communications that are published. We believe Sarah Young's "Jesus" is similar in nature, but with much craftier intent and with more beguiling terminology, terminology that has been heavily fused with Scripture. The end result is the subtle indoctrination and deception of millions of undiscerning Christians.Reread: 2020 will live in the memory of every single person on this planet. What a Year!! We continued cancer treatments until hubby went into remission. PTL [Praise-The-Lord]. During the year, other health issues cropped up and I am now a full-time caregiver. My Bible reading increased to include a personal challenge to read through the Bible in addition to my daily devotional. What a blessing it has been to me. As I read my daily devotional… it often felt like God’s Holy Spirit was whispering words of comfort to me. Oh, how I needed that. Blessings to everyone in the New Year.

Contrast Young’s yearning “for more” with how the Bible portrays God’s word. In response to one of Satan’s temptations, we have Jesus quoting Deut. 8:3:

Sarah Young

Young writes that she was inspired by the book God Calling by Two Listeners. The daily devotions in God Calling, written as though God/Jesus is speaking, came about in 1932 when two anonymous women decided to sit down with pencils and paper and wait to receive words from God. [9] The claim is made in the Foreword by editor A. J. Russell that these two women received messages “ from the Living Christ Himself.” [10]
