The year long devotional by Sarah Young was an interesting read. I normally don’t use a devotional, but understand the value of one to many people. I used this devotional for a week just to see what it would be like. It was very interesting and Sarah goes about her topic in a unique way. Each devotional is written from Jesus to the reader. Each day’s devotional could be read in 45 seconds or less, and takes very little time to read through the additional 2-4 Scripture verses at the end of the devotional.
I would probably recommend this book for someone just getting started in devotional reading. In just a couple minutes a day you can have a short quiet time with God. It’s a great place to start. The packaging of the book is also very nice. Leather bound with a ribbon bookmark for keeping track of your place is really nice. The book would make an excellent gift and includes a place in the front to write to whom the book is given and who is giving it.
Also, I’m supposed to let you know that I was given a free review copy of the book, but that has nothing to do with whether or not I liked it.
039 - A Guy's Guide to Life
Jason Boyett hit the nail on the head with this book. The book is specifically designed for teen guys and helping them through all the difficulties they deal with in adolescence. Jason tackles girls, parents, God, purity, and more in the book. The book also offers practical insights into how to shave, tie and necktie, and more on the practical side of growing up. His insights into the spiritual, emotional, and physical life of the teen guy are incredible. I would strongly recommend this book to any of my students or their parents to read through.
Jason writes in a humorous easy-going way that keeps you engrossed in the book. It reads more like a novel than a textbook. If you have a teen guy in your house or know one, you need to buy them this book.

038 - Jesus Manifesto
Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola have written a new book on Jesus. Just Jesus. Not knowing about Him, or about going to church, or about Christianity, just Jesus. They walk the reader through a basic introduction of who Jesus is and a challenge to return to a relationship with Him. They ask their readers to turn away from religion to follow Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Needless to say, this book is all about Jesus and how you can know him.
The book has one thing definitely going for it, the book is written about the one person who really matters. The subject matter is of the greatest priority. This isn’t a book about rearranging your socks or how to invest for retirement. Instead the topic is much more important. The subject matter is Jesus. One of the negatives of the book is that seems a little repetitious. They seem to cover the person of Jesus over and over without much variation in their writing.
I will close with this thought: the book was very readable. I flew through it in a couple days. The pages kept turning and soon enough I was at the end of the book. I’d recommend checking this book out for yourself though.
