I was given this book for an honest review. No money was exchanged. As always, you will receive my complete and total honesty.
I have liked a lot of books that have come my way. I have disliked a few. I have not endorsed many. This book I would go so far as to say, “I love.”
Jesus Calling is called just that because throughout the book your child can hear Jesus Calling to their little hearts.
Unlike many Christmas “stories” this one is from the perspective of prophecy.
Christmas didn’t begin when Gabriel told Mary she would give birth to the Messiah but much, much, sooner!
The Bible begins to tell us about the coming Messiah long before the New Testament, after all!
Watch this short video for my raw, heartfelt, response to this book:
This book has beautiful illustrations, a perfectly executed story of Christ’s coming, and its all wrapped in a child-friendly and cohesive way.
Of course, the story of Christ’s birth is also within this Christmas story…
But the point of this book is not about one day a year but of One Man of a lifetime! So, make sure you watch the video above for greater details and to truly understand why THIS is the book to buy this Christmas.
Can’t wait to buy it? Enter for your chance to win a copy!
Erin, thank you so much for reviewing this book by Sarah Young. I LOVE Ms. Young’s work, and have purchased many of her books for friends and relatives. Since I don’t have young ones at home anymore, I don’t look for books for this age, but knowing it is around is fantastic, so I can recommend it to others. Once again, Thanks!

We are always searching out good books that bring Christ into Christmas… though I don’t always like devotionals. I’ll have to check it out though!

I think it is vital for authors to quote scripture exactly so I am thankful when this is done. Jesus’ birth is such an amazing love story.

I love Jesus Calling and I love that she has done a Christmas version for kids. The pictures are beautiful and just draw you into the story. I’m so happy your son likes glitter! Nothing wrong with a little sparkle of glitter to make you smile. 🙂
