Jesus Listens for Christmas offers a beautiful glimpse into a devotional that feels both timely and timeless. Sarah Young's signature warmth and reverence come through once again in this holiday edition of her beloved Jesus Listens series.
This Christmas devotional is thoughtfully structured, with daily readings that begin in late November and lead up to the New Year. Each prayerful entry is written in a first-person conversational style that invites the reader to connect with Jesus in a personal, reflective way. The themes of hope, peace, joy, and light resonate deeply, especially in a season where spiritual reflection can be both needed and overlooked amid the busyness.
What sets this edition apart is its gentle focus on the heart of the Christmas story—God’s love made manifest. There is a balance of scripture, prayer, and meditation that creates a calming rhythm to each day. Whether used in solitude or shared as a family reading, it encourages mindful presence and gratitude.
The book is a wonderful gift, and a treasure for the family while the various activities and suggested reading make it a true Christmassy companion.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow down and focus on the spiritual richness of the Christmas season. Jesus Listens for Christmas is a comforting and inspiring companion for Advent and beyond.
