Synopsis

Conversations With Jesus makes a great summer read.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus would say to teens if He could email or text them every day?

God never intended for us to journey through life alone or without direction, and Conversations with Jesus: 365 Daily Devotions for Teens is the perfect tool for every teen who desires to know more about Jesus and what the Bible says about any life situation. Through a collection of encouraging, quick-read messages written in Jesus first-person voice, Conversations with Jesus helps teens turn religion into a real relationship with Christ.

Each day, students ages 12-18 are guided toward a closer walk with their Savior through a full year of carefully selected scripture passages and relevant applications that are trustworthy, practical, and action-oriented. With Conversations with Jesus, teens will: ·

• Develop a closer, more personal relationship with Jesus
• Be encouraged through tough times
• Discover how to handle difficult people
• Develop a clearer sense of God s will for their lives
• Learn how surrender leads to joy regardless of one s circumstances
• Understand how the Bible applies to daily life
• Become equipped to encourage others
• Become more comfortable with prayer as a response to Jesus

Conversations with Jesus: Daily Devotions for Teens takes the guesswork out of discipleship with a collection of encouraging messages written in Jesus' first-person voice and designed to capture the fleeting attention of today's youth.

These short devotions will help pre-teens and teens develop the daily habit of reflecting upon the Word of God, conversing with Jesus, and to recognize the relevancy of scripture in everyday life.

Jesus is waiting to talk with you today, and He s already prepared a message just for you. Are you willing to open it?



"Our students find the subject matter covered in Conversations with Jesus: 365 Daily Devotions for Teens relative to where they are...They want action steps in a devotional, things to think and pray about." - Bobby Gatlin, Minister to Students - Johnson Ferry Baptist Church
