I gave this as a gift to a few people and they all loved it.  It is an easy read and leads one to believe it will be a nice introduction to helping a person build a relationship with Christ. What is does for many people is it replaces time in the Bible with the reading of this book. After a careful read my self I see that, Sarah Young, perhaps wanting a word from God that was more than the Word of God, she ended up being deceived herself. "Deceiving and being deceived: 2 Tim 3:13, and she has taken millions of Jesus Calling readers along with her. Remember I Tim 4:1 " Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons." The writer has made millions of dollars by steering people away from the Word of God (the Bible) and towards Jesus Calling. An example of a misrepresentation that I found on two separate pages that contradict the Bible's true Jesus Christ.  Supposedly she was told by her "Jesus" that the last words he spoke after his resurrection and before ascending into heaven were "I am with you always."  But the statement made by the true Jesus Christ on the Mount of Galilee were not His last words before ascending into heaven.  His last words were spoken from the Mount of Olives as recorded in Acts 1:7-9, 12. The 2 messages Sarah Young received from her "Jesus" contradict the words of the true Jesus Christ in the Bible. Regardless of whether the writer has been listening to a deceptive spirit (I Tim. 4:1) or to her own confused thoughts (1 Corinthians 14:33) or a combination of both, she is misguided and is in turn deceiving others (2 Tim 3:13) whether she realizes it or not.  Believers must search the Scriptures for themselves to see if the things they are being told are really true (Act 17:11) and they must test the voices they are listening to "because many false prophets are gone out into the world". 1 John 4:1).  It is not enough that a teaching makes a person feel good if it is not based upon the truth of the Bible, then it is to be avoided.  Unfortunately, believers who are not well versed in the scriptures will not be able to catch untruths and deceptions when presented to them. It is my prayer that readers be more discerning and work to recognize God's truth from man's almost truth.
