My wife and I read Jesus Calling together almost every evening before we retire. We love the way the thoughts are directed as from Jesus himself. We have faced many difficulties in the last six months. It is usually before bed that we discuss our conundrums, trying to make sense of them and find some hope. I cannot tell you how many times after we discuss these problems and finding no solution, the old frustration races it’s ugly head and steals our peace. It is then that I usually open up Jesus Calling and read it out loud. God often directly answers or addresses our conversation, foolish doubt, and unbelief. He speaks straight to our dilemma as and tells us what we need to hear. The scriptures included with the devotion, almost without fail, confirm what God has said to us through the devotion. We were particularly seeking God’s peace at the start of this new year. So many times God addressed that topic in incredibly relevant ways, confirming what he had been teaching us. Almost every evening we can’t wait to open it up again and see how the Lord speaks to us that day. I can’t recommend it enough. Craig Bodenschatz

Enriching your beliefs!

I am so thankful for ALL of Sarah Young’s books. They are great companions to walking with Christ in daily living and Bible studies as well. No matter what is happening in my life or the world, the words of the daily devotions so often seem written for the circumstances of the times—this is extremely comforting as well as reassuring. I have given them as gifts and can’t wait for the next person who presents their need for such readings. I always keep a few copies of either “Calling”, “Always” and “Today” so that l can be timely in the gifting of the books. I first became familiar with Ms. Young‘s work when in a restaurant, a lady approached us and asked if she could read to us from “today’s reading”. She said that she had overheard our conversation with a brother-in-law who was basically down and out. We were taken back by her approach and she was told “no”. However, l had zeroed in on the title of Jesus Calling and l was down at the bookstore the next day for a copy of my own—l consider the money spent on these books as an investment not only in myself and family but to whomever l gift one of the copies!

Jesus Knows What I Need for the Day!

Each morning when I red my Jesus Calling devotion for the day, it seems to be exactly what I’m possibly facing for the day or what situation that I am dealing with!!! My Sweet Daddy gave me my Jesus Calling book. He has now gone to be with Jesus, but every morning that I open my little book up I think of him and remember how many times I’ve heard him say, I love Jesus, Jesus is my friend♥️🙌🏻♥️ He had dementia/Alzheimer’s for 6 years be Jesus called him home, but he told people he loved Jesus and Jesus was his friend up until the last few months when the disease fully took him away from us😔😢 but yet, he could still sing his favorite songs about Jesus🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😢☺️🙂and now, he is seated at the feet of Jesus sing and praising the Awesome Great Big God we serve🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 So thankful for my little devotion book. Thankful for the words that speak to my heart and for the ‘precious memories that it brings back to my mind. So very thankful that I have the promise that I will one day, I will see my Daddy again and will be able to sit at Jesus’ feet and will never again have any sad times🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

How to share what you read.

I found out how to share what I read daily to other people. The way I share what I read is by pressing on the center of the page that you were reading and holding your thumb there until you see a bar that will appear on the screen and then click on select all, it will highlight the entire page and then at the end of the bar you will see share click on the share button not the link and that is how I have been able to share this with many of people. As someone posted earlier when you click on the share link all that shows is the books from Sarah Young which are truly amazing every last one of them. I hope this was of some assistance to anybody that’s trying to share something that they read for that particular day. God bless you all God bless the world because Jesus is Lord!!!!

Worst ever

Hugh disappointment. I have discontinued usage until remedy. THE WAY IT SHOULD BE LIVING IN DEPENDENCE ON ME is the way to enjoy abundant life. You are learning to appreciate tough times because they amplify your awareness of My Presence. Tasks that you used to dread are becoming rich opportunities to enjoy My closeness. When you feel tired, you remember that I am your Strength; you take pleasure in leaning on Me. I am pleased by your tendency to turn to Me more and more frequently, especially when you are alone. When you are with other people, you often lose sight of My Presence. Your fear of displeasing people puts you in bondage to them, and they become your primary focus. When you realize this has happened, whisper My Name; this tiny act of trust brings Me to the forefront of your consciousness, where I belong. As you bask in the blessing of My nearness, My life can flow through you to others. This is abundant life! I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. —Psalm 18:1–2 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe. —Proverbs 29:25 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” —John 10:10 nkjv

Used to love it… Now it’s not accessible for me

I am so disappointed in this app. I have been an avid lover of Jesus Calling for many years.. first I purchased the book and then the app.I began having visual problems and spent a lot of extra money to get the deluxe audiobook. It is the only way I can have access and the audio has not worked in a very long time.. I wrote to the company for help a couple of times… So long ago I can’t remember but at least a year ago for my first correspondence. I just got a vague answer back saying they did not know when the audio would be available again. So recently in my extreme frustration I wrote them not once but twice again expressing my frustration at having spent so much money for something that I cannot use at all. No one even bothered to answer either of my emails. So I am out $30 and have no access to a book I once truly loved. I was trying to use the app on several different devices with different operating systems, so it is not a problem on my end. All are iPads or iPhones. I am sorry… I truly hate to write a negative review for a Jesus Calling app that I loved so much. But I don’t think this is the right way to treat someone who has made a purchase from you.

Update has made it totally unusable

Update has made it totally unusable the way I’ve been using it for the last 3 years or so. I have been listening to it read to me before my eyes are fully opened each day. I have found that to be such a sweet & inspirational way to start my day. So much so that I have not missed a single day in all that time. However, now I’m unable to highlight it to hear it as audio (or to share the text with my husband, who is an over the road trucker, gone for a month at a time) I saw the audio option at the top but it doesn’t work for me & the directions that pop up, for restoring my purchase, didn’t work either. When I purchased the app people warned me, that an app where they would charge so much, shows greediness. I defended it because I saw the value in it but with this situation, it kinda feels like a way of trying to get More money out of those who have already purchased it. The 3 stars are for the value I’ve gotten out of it until this point & the 2 missing stars are for the value that I feel has been taken away 😔

An awesome & excellent gift from Jesus!!!!

To read a daily message from our Lord and Savior, is a gift from Jesus to all who are willing to join and enjoy the fun, the open honesty He shares with us . All of us are so blessed by Sarah Young’s willingness to take a leap of faith to trust what Jesus asked Sarah to do. I know this to be true for Sarah Young as it is for me. January 2015 I was commissioned by Jesus to write a book titled “Three Strikes, You’re Out, USA!”. Three Strikes, You’re Out, USA!, was published May 2021. The message from God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit clearly states the direction of our beloved USA. We have two and only two choices; 1. Repent of our sins and God will heal our Nation!!! 2. Continuing to believe following Lucifer, (aka Satan) says go do whatever WE WANT TO DO, as often as we desire, God will bring The USA down to complete ruins!!! Geary L.

Very unhappy with update

I have read Jesus Calling over and over each year since it was first available. I have copied and pasted the devotional and sent to my son for last couple of years.. I always sent it to him in the morning when I read it.. He commented how he looked forward to starting his day with my text.. your update doesn’t allow that for us anymore. Your update has take away something very special between my son and me. I can’t help but think it is an act of greediness on your part…wanting people to purchase that app rather than being thrilled someone is benefiting from the devotional… I paid for it and I should be able to share it.. I have been taken screen shots of it but it takes 2 to get in all in.. just a hassle and not the same…I’m thinking about just cancelling the app and finding a new source to text my son.. this has been very upsetting to me and changed the way I have always felt about Jesus Calling…to be honest I’m sure He isn’t happy you have made this change either…from talking to other people about it I’m not the only one that feels this way!

Give me the old jesus calling devotional

I have given probably 200 Jesus Calling books to our wounded warriors, police officers and people that God leads me to that need Jesus. I have purchased apps for people and now with the update, it messes the entire premise of what Jesus calling app is susppose to do. You have gone commercial with the app and that is why you get 2 stars. We need one app for the devotional that we buy and have it come up on the day that we want to read it. I pray for direction on which devotional that I lead my group. Probably over 100 daily readers from our precious military and now I have gotten feedback that the app doesnt work. Please go back and make it non commercial. We know you have all of these books but we dont care. If we are led to buy them then great but dont force us to go through the hoops of a newsletter and daily words that we are not interested in. I want the day9today devotional to come up when I press on the jesus calling app. Blessings to you

I don't like the upgrade either.

The new layout feel impersonal. I don’t like the historical view of where I have been, I would rather the app show today’s devotion when I open it. I used to share info on the devotions with my family, especially my sons who aren’t reading devotions each day. I own the app and 4 additional copies of the book. I have given them the copies of Jesus Calling as well. I know they don’t faithfully read it daily, but they did read what I sent. It is unfortunate I can’t continue to feed their faith using Jesus Calling. I am also not as dedicated to the app. I now go other places for my daily readings. It is a shame you figured out a way to stop people from sharing God’s Word so we are able to let those we love know how we are touched by the Holy Spirit.

Changes

It is hard on old people when you keep changing the format. I know market research probably shows that people love change and they buy and use the app more when you keep changing it, but I am Just noting that in my case, that is not true. Unless there is An improvement, which I don’t see in This format. In fact, although I have read Jesus Calling every morning for years, I have recently stopped looking at it because I hate The format so much. It is harder to read, the demarcation between scripture and comment is not Detectable, etc etc. Still give The contents Five stars, but I hate The formatting, maybe Because I am old and don’t like change. I don’t know! Just voicing my opinion. Take Care, dear Friend And Mutual God lover!

You Messed It Up Again😩

This is the second time that you all have messed up the app. It was working perfectly as of 2021. But now, with this last update that I just did May 2021. Now I’m not able to select all and copy the text to send to my loved ones who don’t have smart phones. And that is why I only gave three stars. I thought the goal was to share this word, More so then share the link to purchase this word. I am thinking about deleting this app all together and just copying word from another source so that I can send in a text to my love ones. It would be okay, if when I use the link it would allow my loved ones to read the entire passages for the day, but it won’t even do that. I hate this last update for this reason. It won’t even allow my iPhone lady (Siri), to read the passage to me anymore. That is a MAJOR no no! Sincerely; Frustrated Subscriber. 😩

LOVE the content but not app functionality ‘updates’

I have had this app for years and love it. However over the past year or so they have changed the functionality so it is much harder to use. You used to be able to scroll day/days back and forward from ‘today’ and now if you try to view another day, you’re taken to the entire list starting on Jan 1, so you have to endlessly scroll to find the date you’re looking for. I submitted this issue and was told sorry, there is no way to get the old functionality. Additionally I very recently changed my notification time of day, but then received no notifications. I submitted it as an issue and was told they’re working on it but months later it is still not resolved. Very sad ~ I wish there was another app to get this quality content without all the so-called enhancements.

Disappointed with Update

One of the joys I had with this devotional was that I could copy and paste it into emails to share with friends and family to encourage them. Every now and then as I read a particular day’s devotional, God would bring someone to mind that might find encouragement from that particular day’s scripture. I would copy and paste it into a text message with the title: Jesus Calling plus the date. It was such an easy way for me to minister to that person in a way that was meaningful to them. I have one friend in particular that has suffered multiple brain injuries that loved it when I shared this devotional with her. Now I’m no longer able to without her having to purchase and download the application on her phone. She needs things kept simple and this latest update has made it more complicated to share with her. All that to say, I’m not receiving the enjoyment or benefit that I once experienced with this app. So sad and disappointing. I rarely read it anymore.

Terrible update

The old layout was perfect. I also lost all of my bookmarks or favorites. When it’s not broken, please don’t fix it. Also the bottom verses are no longer italic. So it reads like a run-on paragraph when the story should end before the reference verses. Please add a divider between the story and reference verses or make the verses back to italic! As a creative director myself, the appropriate approach to this type of app is not to revamp the whole layout but to add features around it without destroying the original and functional UI experience. Create separate apps for other books instead of jamming them all into this book and trying to convert this app into iBook-ish or Kindle-ish. Not a cool change.

VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE NEW UPDATE!

I agree with every other review on this page werein the readers are very upset about the new update. Please update and change it back to the way it was before. It is just sooooo frustrating that you can’t even go to the next page/day by just tapping or swiping the bottom. Also, if you miss a couple of days readings and you want to catch up, you have to go back to the homepage where there is a listing of the month and day, but it always takes you back to the first of the year so you have to scroll all the way down to the find the month and day that you want to read. It is so annoying!!! I am extremely disappointed with this new update. It’s just ridiculous!!… and not easy to use at all. It sounds like you have ALOT of readers that are upset. You need to make some changes!!!

Update doesn't feel like an upgrade at all

Sadly, I haven’t found anything in the new update that I like better than what was there before. I have had the app for many years and use it daily as well as several copies of the book that I have shared as gifts and for our own personal use. The features are not as easy to navigate, and by making it impossible to copy and paste you’ve made it more inaccessible. There are many situations and people that are not trying to “steal” “the content but have no other option to get it. I understand capitalism but is this book not meant to reach the masses? I ask for you to consider your mission and the possibility that the God that this book speaks of is able to make all blessings abound to you when you’re doing His will. God bless you

The perfect way to start your day

I have started my mornings with this app for over 4 years. I absolutely love Sarah’s way of presenting God’s promises in such applicable, easy to understand ways. Almost every day it’s as if it were written just for me. For what I am experiencing or going though. I highly encourage anyone considering purchasing this app to please do so. I also LOVE and have the Jesus Calling for Kids app on my boys phones and we are able to discuss each days reading. It is the same as this version but written in a way that is easy for kids ( and teenagers) to understand. So, if you have children I definitely would get that one as well!

My thought

I liked it better when I was able to copy and paste these beautiful words. Now I am unable to share. Before I would copy n share whether it be to Facebook,Instagram or directly and I know many that waited to see what I wrote. Many asked me where they could find and I would share the book by directing them to buy or buy the book for them. Sometimes when souls are wandering and searching for meaning getting a taste to feed their hungry souls is what is needed…. Sooner or later they finally figure out what satiates that hunger they search for. I have always called this my “Jesus horoscope” no matter when it always speaks to me for that day… it’s uncanny… but as I always have said… Jesus knows ❤️

Updated version...

I add my comments to the latest reviews I’ve been reading. The old version was much preferred. I appreciated the simplicity of this daily devotional app, and now the updated version is not inviting at all. The font and color are harsh. I also appreciated the fact that previously when I opened it every day it immediately opened to that current day’s devotional, like a bookmark. I didn’t have the whole list in front of me to choose from. It was an extreme shock to open the app, have it ask for my name and take me through a series of prompts, when I was expecting to just open this welcome ebook and pick up where I left off before. Extremely disappointing. Not thinking I’ll be using it anymore. When I want to dig deeper I go to my Bible directly for that, not through a paid app. Not everything needs to be so ‘busy’ with info. Sometimes simple is better.

Why did the app for Jesus Calling change?

My husband and I have had Jesus Calling on our phones for a long time. We also have hard copies of the book. The words have directed and comforted us for years My husbands phone still has the appearance/look and intro of the original app which I loved. His app shows the original cover of the book and then you immediately see God’s hands as the day’s devotional loads. The daily reading appears immediately once loaded. My phone’s app has changed and I can’t get the original appearance back. For me, being drawn into the hands as it loads calms me and having it go directly into the daily reading was perfect. I miss that intro. Now I read from my book rather than the app I enjoyed so much.

Please bring back the old version, the update is horrible!

Before the update, I would have given this 5 stars. The layout was beautiful/inviting and I looked forward to opening my app each day. Now with the new update the daily devotions looks like a work e-mail and the app is extremely inconvenient to navigate. I would have never purchased this app if this was the original layout/format. Please bring back the old layout. You have numerous valued customers saying the same thing. There is a consistent theme-please bring back the old version. I miss it and the peace it brought to my morning routine. I unfortunately don’t even use the app anymore and have pulled out my physical book copy instead but miss the convenience of having it on my phone. Please listen to the feedback and bring back the old version prior to the most recent update.

TERRIBLE

I wasn’t sure if I was the only one who passionately disliked the new version. I see that there are countless new reviews letting you know how much we detest it. Not one single positive review. This version obviously failed miserably and you need to go back to the drawing board and start over. In the meantime, please give us the prior version back, until you can incorporate your desired new features into the old design. I don’t know what happened here, or how anyone thought this new version was a good design, from its inception, nor can I comprehend how the persons in charge of making the decision to go forward with publishing the new app version could have responsibly approved it. Based on the overwhelming negative reactions to the new app, someone needs to ask some hard questions. Until new developers can be hired, can we please have the old app back?

An Anointed Work

This work must truly be anointed because almost every day that I read it, it speaks as the voice of God to my heart, blessing me with my daily bread. Daily it has given me assurance, confirmation, comfort, guidance, strength, and the list continues. Whether or not I am in a season for deep theological study, I can count on it to connect me to my Heavenly Father. My deepest gratitude to the author for obediently completing the work as I am sure it is having a major impact on many lives in the same way it is impacting mine. May you remain faithful to God, as well as pure and simple in your future endeavors, in His service.

Horrible Update!

I love this app. Truly I do. It’s the first thing I read upon waking in the morning. However, this new update is horrendous. It’s not user friendly and more specifically, the overall look and feel has gone from soothing to harsh. The daily devotional doesn’t even appear right when you open it but you have to click on the one you want, there are no color changes that depict you’re actually reading a devotional (looks like a boring document you have to read for work) and I miss the italicized scriptures. Scripture is so very important and it needs to stand out as such. I’ll continue reading this as the content and correlating versus truly do speak to me on a daily basis but why try to fix something that isn’t broke? Go back to the way it was!

Missing one thing

I love this app for the most part, but I felt the need to take off one star and see if you would fix my criticism for it. I see you have a link to share text if I should see something I like in the page of the day, but every time I try to share anything all it does is share a link to the books of Sarah Young. What’s that all about? I want to be able to highlight and share insights I read during the day, not the books themselves. People will see the book titles when I share something anyway, they’re getting plenty enough publicity, let me share from the text itself like it says, “Share text”. Fix that and I’ll give you five stars. God bless you.

Content is great new format is a disaster

I have used Jesus Calling for many years. I absolutely loved the way it was. It was easy to use and read. The new format makes it harder to read and use. I gave it 3 stars. I would have given the older version 5. Had this been the format when I first started using I would have deleted the app. I would give this newer version a 1 star. The light background with the weird font is horrendous and hard to read. I’ve almost given up reading this devotional because of the easier to read version which is an absolute falsehood. To me you all destroyed a perfectly good app with disaster. To me it is a deterrent. I beg you please return my beloved app back!

Peace

Jesus Calling, a gift from a friend, has been an integral part of my life daily for the past 11 1/2 years. Each of my days in these past years have begun with these powerful, caring, and pointed devotions. I can feel and hear Jesus speaking directly to me. Jesus Calling has brought me back to the strong awareness of the constant loving arms of Christ and His holding my right hand. The rebirth of peace, calmness, faith, hope, and this strong, constant connection with Jesus has truly eliminated much of my life’s worries and anxieties and brought me to a much better place in my life.

Please bring back old version!

I use this everyday and I love the book. I liked the old graphics of the app, very calming and inviting. I also liked how the app would automatically flip me to “today’s” page. The new app looks like a business document and is very clunky, it all doesn’t fit nicely on one screen, the words are small but the spacing is way too big between paragraphs. Also, you cannot flip to the next page anymore, which is frustrating. Instead, you have to go back to the table of contents and scroll all the way down to the page you are looking for, which is very frustrating. Please reconsider some of these updates. Thank you.

Start of My Day

It is my go to book every morning, to start my day in peace of mind. If I happen to miss a day, its regretful and I’m eager to resume where I left off. It’s also helpful to read the reference Scripture and I find myself reading entire chapters when I have time. With the new App its made so much more convenient. Nearly ten years ago I was recovering from a complicated surgery and in the hospital for a month. During that time a dear friend gifted me the small version of “Jesus Calling”. It has been a dependable devotional ever since. Its a phenomenal piece of work by Ms Sarah Young. S. Corrie

Jesus calling me

I am grateful beyond words for this devotional. It is such a unique way to hear the LORD’s voice in His Word. I have read it almost daily for about 20 years, and given it to so many others. Jesus chose and gifted Sarah Young to share what she heard from Him, and what He says to us all. After all these years, it is uncanny how a particular day’s scripture and teaching will apply directly to what is happening in my life in a fresh way. It is the miracle of God’s Word, and this is one of the most treasured tools in my toolbox as I labor to show myself approved.

Fabulous App; Annoying Constant Notifications

have used this app for years and recommended it to my friends. The notes feature is equally as important to me as the Scriptures and message content. I like to look at previous years to see how far He has brought me. I would give this app five stars, but notifications constantly pop up from the bottom of my screen when I use my phone. Every time I double click the home button. Should never have turned them on. Even though I turned notifications off in the app and in my phone settings, then restarted my phone, the problem still persists. I emailed Harper Collins too, but have not received a reply.

I have read the 40 days of purpose and I recommend it to everyone. It’s a physical workbook for us daily. Then, I was blessed to come across this app. I am thankful to God that he reminds me daily of ways I can walk with him. It reminds me to not take myself or others in this world so seriously. Turning the other cheek takes practice. Being brave and bold enough to share the simplicity of Jesus’ love can be difficult in this world. This app simply and precisely gives us words of wisdom daily. A light in a dreary world, So thankful❣️👆🏽🛡🙌🏼🙌🏿🙌🏽

Not a fan of changes in App!

Ican’t keep the text the size I want. Always goes b to bigger text. Have to change back every day. Frustrating. Can’t copy and paste portions of text to use in notes. So can’t share with others like I used to be able to. Now it sends a portion with advertising!!!! COME ON!! WHY do this!!? Also I used to be able to look up words by clicking on a word to look up meaning. That no longer works!!! The app was better before you messed with it. I use this daily. I have had this app for 10 years. Now it’s messed up. Please give up back the things that were helpful. So sad you changed these things!!!

Upgrades = Less User Friendly

I have been repeatedly disappointed over the 6+ years when I’ve done an upgrade to this app. The lack of being able to interact with the text to define words is a recent example. I also miss being able to copy and paste the text to share the Gospel. Everyone isn’t going to purchase the app but as Christians (like Sarah Young), the intention is to draw others to a relationship with Christ by personalizing the message in the Bible. It’s a disappointment that sharing this blessing requires me to pitch a sale for the publisher. I am still blessed by it, but not being able to share takes away a bit of my joy. Please share this feedback with the publisher. Thank you.

Jesus Calling

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in December of 2,020. I was at a dinner given by CTCA which was in Philadelphia at the time. The room was very crowded and I didn’t know anyone except my niece who accompanied me to my appointment. A woman approached me and said she would like to give me this book. It has changed my life. He calls to me and I go to him, feeling closer to him then I have ever felt. It has taught me what it is that Jesus wants from us and how easy it is for us to comply with his wishes. I can’t imagine ever starting my day again without his words of wisdom and LOVE.

I have the book that I enjoy quietly at home. The app is perfect to have with you at all times. If you are at work, waiting at a doctor’s or having a crazy good or bad day, I just open my JC app. It is amazing to me that I have been reading Jesus Calling since 2011 and every time, I come back to the same date, the message takes on a new meaning and understanding. The same thing happens throughout my day. Having this app helps me to stay connected talking with our Heavenly Father throughout the day. It is a blessing. Thank you!

I used to be able to share it with friends in need of a Word in due season, however, the App has been revised and I can no longer share. I used the audio portion of the App while it was available and loved it; however, I didn't want to pay for the App again just to get the audio portion. Overall, Jesus Calling is an amazing way to jump start your day with the Lord before the hectic pace of the world calls your name.

This book is a MAJOR stepping stone

This book saved my life… I really didn’t understand the Bible or how it worked until I started reading this book. The passages written along with the scriptures made it so much easier for me to understand. I really feel that Jesus is talking to me through this book. It’s an amazing tool to introduce yourself to actually learn how to read and interpret the Bible on a different level. I highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️A must have in your journey and path to Jesus. Thank you Sarah for creating this series!

Why???

I’ve shared your devotional for 9+ years… every. single. day. And I’ve ALWAYS given YOU credit. I have in my shortened keystrokes jcbs and it pops in as Jesus Calling by Sarah Young so I don’t have to type it daily. Because of my sharing daily, I know of hundreds of people that have purchased your app and this devotional book for themselves and as gifts. I also purchase 10-20 at a time to gift as I feel directed. Yesterday I allowed all my apps (which I NEVER do) to update. So… obviously, I will NOT be sharing your devotional anymore until you change the feature of copy and share. I’ve read all the recent reviews and I’m not the only one upset with your update. Why??? You had people sharing (and not getting paid to) for your benefit.

This is a must have app

I am a pastor for many years, and on the go more than I’d like to sometimes, but my heart is to advance the kingdom of God by any means possible I enjoy this app. I’ve had it on my phone for years now ever thought to write a review if you’re thinking about purchasing this app, I would advise you to do so it’s hard heating sometimes but sometimes it’s so encouraging and it always finds me right where I’m at even if I’m in the middle of a mess highly recommend it PastorSuperDave

My Right Arm

I rely on Jesus Calling for my day & night reading everyday because somehow, when I open to the day’s page, it is reinforcement for the life challenges I’m feeling right now. This book was a gift from a family member that had received it from my son! It has provided me with the most cherished spiritual direction of any book I’ve ever received, besides my Bible! Since receiving that first Jesus Calling I’ve purchased & passed it on as a gift to countless other friends & family from coast to coast. Thank you!

Change in format

I’ve had Jesus Calling on my phone since it came out. I LOVE this devotional and have been able to witness through “sharing” some of the daily devotions through the years!!! Thank you for this app!!!!😃 Three stars are due to the fact that we can no longer copy/paste and share on social media!! You get just a blurb when you share and then all of the “store” items. Makes me sad! The way Sarah Young wrote this with Jesus in first person makes it SO PERSONAL and easy to get the attention of unbelievers. Please please change it back. Blessings😇

Love this app!

This is a devotional I have been reading for 7+ years now and every year it still seems to amaze me the way God speaks through this and every year on the same day from the year before I always get something new after living and learning another year. I highly recommend this app to anyone that needs a great devotional to start your day with! I personally love it! Thank you “Sarah Young” (the author) for writing this. It has helped me in my walk with God more than I can say. God bless!

Never got the audio version to work 😟

I have print versions as well as the app - my mainstay devotional for almost 10 years. Recently because of the necessity of long drives, I bought the audio, so I could listen while driving. The audio icon puts the play button on the screen, but nothing happens. I haven’t received a reply from the helpline by email either. I’m disappointed. Other than that, this is the very best bible-based daily reading I’ve ever come across! I’ve also given away many copies to friends and family. It’s beautiful.

Exactly what I need when I Need it

I don’t know how but without question the presence of the Lord is felt and very much alive when reading and trying to truly and purely understand the Bible and then to read this after I have my morning read from the Bible, always hits it right on the head. Whatever is on my heart or mind that day I feel like Jesus is talking directly to me in a relatable form, while here in todays world. I hope everyone reading Jesus calling is encouraged and excited to get to know Him more.

Jesus Calling

I have had and read this book many times along with others Sarah Young has written. There has NEVER been a day when I have been experiencing fear, anxiety, grief, anger or any other problems this world brings that the reading wasn’t EXACTLY what I needed to hear from the Lord. Sarah is a blessed tool who allows God to work through her to minister to millions of others. She has a weakened physical body but she stands tall and deeply rooted in the word of God. May God continue to bless you. Looking forward to “Jesus Listens”.

By spending time in the presence of the Savior with the much-loved devotions in Jesus Calling, you will: * Feel comforted by a daily word of hope and encouragement * Be reassured of Jesus' unending blessings and love for you * Receive gentle guidance based on daily Scripture readings * Connect with Jesus further with reflection and meditation based on God’s Word Written as if Jesus Himself is speaking directly to you, Jesus Calling invites you to experience peace in the presence of the Savior who is always with you. These writings are personal reflections based on Jesus’ own words of hope, guidance, and peace within Scripture—penned by one who loves Him and revered His Word. The Bible is the only infallible, inerrant Word of God, and author Sarah Young endeavors to keep her writings consistent with that unchanging standard. She has written from the perspective of Jesus speaking, to help readers feel more personally connected with Him. So the first person singular (“I,” “Me,” “My,” “Mine”) always refers to Christ; “you” refers to you, the reader. Sarah Young has included Scripture references after each daily reading and wove them into the devotions. Words from the Scriptures are indicated in italics. Themes of thankfulness, prayer, and trust recur often in the daily devotions as they are essential for a close relationship with the Lord. The devotions in this app are meant to be read slowly, preferably in a quiet place. Remember that Jesus is Immanuel, God with us. May you enjoy His Presence and His Peace in ever-increasing measure.
