      Sarah Young's books inspire me more than most I have read. I appreciate the short, intense writings that reflect words of Christ. They are gentle and real and Bible-based. Wonderful!
    • 5/5
      Written as if Christ is speaking directly to the reader, this joyous year-long daily devotional explores the promises of joy in scripture. Each devotion offers a short reading complemented by several scripture references related to the day’s reading. Readers will find themselves uplifted and embracing a life of joy.Highly recommended.

      Very Positive And Uplifting Devotional

      I have always collected devotionals, and when I found out Sarah came out with this one 'Jesus Always' I was more than thrilled, since I have all of her devotionals. It is simple, with some Bible verses to read that are listed at the bottom of each devotional page. It contains 365 devotions for each day of the year. A wonderful resource for reading scripture every day. I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

    The Jesus Always 52-Week Discussion Guide

    Embracing Joy in His Presence

    The following discussion-guide questions are based on readings from the devotional Jesus Always and are designed to help an individual or group gain a deeper understanding of embracing joy in His presence. The selections are identified by date; however, the discussion sessions do not have to be done on a specific date—the references are simply used to help you locate the passages. Questions can be used for group discussion or personal reflection any time of the year.

    Discussion #1: F

    ULLNESS OF JOY

    Please read the devotion (or listen if you have the Jesus Always audiobook) and related Scripture passages from Jesus Always dated January 1, and then answer/discuss these questions:

    1. What past events of your life do you find yourself dwelling on? Do you tend to let the disappointments and failures of yesterday overshadow your life today?

    [Your Response Here]

    2. Today’s reading tells us that "today is a precious gift and that we should rejoice and be glad in it." What are some ways you can pay attention to what’s going on today and be grateful for the moment that is in front of you?

    [Your Response Here]

    3. One of the scriptures associated with the reading today promises this: You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11 NKJV). Do you believe that by seeking God daily you can find fullness of joy? What does this look like in your daily life?

    [Your Response Here]

    Discussion #2: J

    OY THAT KNOWS NO BOUNDS

    Please read the devotion (or listen if you have the Jesus Always audiobook) and related Scripture passages from Jesus Always dated January 8, and then answer/discuss these questions:

    1. What adversities are you facing today? Do you believe it’s possible to still find joy in life amidst even the more difficult times? Describe a time when you found joy during a tough situation.

    [Your Response Here]

    2. Today’s reading advises us to refuse to let adversity keep you from enjoying Me. Why do you think it’s important to lean on God during difficult times? What does the text tell us will happen when we keep [our] hope fully fastened on God?

    [Your Response Here]

    3. One of the scriptures for today explains, Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory (1 Peter 1:8 NKJV). Write a prayer asking God for the courage to face your troubles boldly so that you may find inexpressible joy in Him.
