During my college years, long devotional workbooks filled with reflection questions and application challenges appealed to me. It was a time of deep faith and I look back on those days with a longing to get back in that place. In this season of my life, I prefer short devotionals that give me a target on which to focus for the day. It feels like an accomplishment when I can start with a moment of prayer or a bit of worship-mindedness. Even though Jesus Always is meant for a young audience, it’s actually perfect for my morning!
The book comes in a gorgeous purple hardcover. It’s almost like a board book cover, which is perfect for little hands. The pages are glossy and full color as well. It’s a very attractive book.
I appreciated that there’s a bookmark ribbon attached to the spine. That makes it so much easier to hold my place! Since this book is targeted for children, the reading is quite simple and so uplifting. Similar to Jesus Calling, these devotions have a personal tone that glorifies God in every word. Readers are encouraged to enrich the devotion time by reading related scripture. These are slightly longer than the devotion itself (sometimes up to 14 or 15 verses) and demonstrate the active nature of God’s living word.
As I’ve mentioned before, it would be so nice to have this book in a more adult-friendly cover. The writing style and basic overtones are perfect for a new believer, or for someone like my mother who doesn’t read English well. She might feel affronted if I sent her a child’s devotional; however, she’d probably read it if it looked more grown up.
