Product Information

The “friends freed from the limitation of humanity” are the dead friends. This piercing glint of Spiritualism is further confirmation of New Thought influence, since the two were so intertwined at the time. The Troubling Messages of Young’s Jesus Note: Sarah Young is listed as a "NOT Recommended" author in section one of booklet: " #1—The New Spirituality in the ChurchEach of the following authors professes to be Christian and/or uses biblical terminology in his or her writing, yet promotes at least one of the following serious false teachings: contemplative spirituality (i.e., Spiritual Formation), the emergent, progressive “new” spirituality, the seeker-friendly, church-growth movement (e.g., Willow Creek, Purpose Driven) and/or Yoga." I am honored to have this as my copy of the bible and know this time I will be successful in my attempt to get through the bible in it's completion.

But who would ever imagine these things to be so? The Jesus Calling series is filled with Bible verses, and Sarah Young claims to be a Christian, and Thomas Nelson Publishers publishes mountains of Christian literature —right? Indeed, right! In the original, Young is not as cagey with words, but claims that after writing this book, “I have continued to receive personal messages from God as I meditate on Him,” [5] implying that the messages in her book are from God (or Jesus). There are other serious problems with the teachings of the Oxford Group, which developed in 1938 into Moral Re-Armament (MRA), considered by some to be a cult; however, that topic is outside the scope of this article.

I had not read the intro until now, but it is clearly there. And she says that is how she wrote Jesus Calling, that the messages were directly from Jesus, and she merely wrote them down. This is particularly problematic because not all of her "messages" are biblical. Thus, she is either lying about receiving these messages (I had always thought she just took some of her favorite verses and turned them into a devotional) or she is receiving the messages from someone other than Jesus. The research material here will also help you see the truth that when combined together, all of the Jesus Calling devotional series books—as an integrated body of literature—are a training course in New Age philosophy ( The New Age Implications of “Jesus Calling”) and practical mediumship ( see, Training Manual for Mediums? - Quotations from the God Calling Books and the Jesus Calling Series).

Jesus Lives: Seeing His Love in Your Life. Nashville, Tennessee: Thomas Nelson. But Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the risen Lord Jesus Christ, whom Sarah Young's "Jesus" is theologically and philosophically contrary to, warned, Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young (Thomas Nelson) is a masterpiece!

Unlike other devotionals, Young records thoughts she receives from God in a personal format, so each devotional is like a little message from God that aims directly for the heart.
