The One Year Devotions with Jesus

Devotional

Jesus Christ is the most famous—and often, most misunderstood—person in history. But who actually was he? Was he simply a good man or a moral teacher? An ancient philosopher with long, brown hair, sandals and a dusty robe? A religious revolutionary? It’s a vitally important question. God’s Word says that people’s belief about Jesus’ true identity will determine their eternal fate.

The One Year Devotions with Jesus is dedicated to helping pre-teens and teens know exactly who Jesus is and how to draw closer to him. All 365 devotions bear his name. Featuring a range of age-appropriate topics, from practical life lessons that Jesus taught to the essential theological truths of his character and deity, this devotional will take readers through the entire Bible, encouraging youth to devote their lives to the eternal, all-powerful Son of God whose sacrificial death and resurrection provides salvation to all who believe.

Joshua Cooley is a student of the Bible and a student of kids. He’s a gifted writer and communicator who can connect the deep truths about Jesus and his redemptive story to the real world where kids live. The One Year Devotions with Jesus is biblical Christology unpacked in a way preteens can connect with. What a gift to the church!

The introduction of this book says it all: “This book is all about Jesus.” Joshua Cooley has provided a great opportunity for our kids to spend 365 days studying and learning to love Jesus. This devotional grows children in an understanding of who Jesus is so they can begin to have a relationship with him. This book weaves together the character of Jesus with theological doctrine. Well-thought-out sections break down what each doctrine means, provide next steps, and include fun things readers might not know. I’m looking forward to taking my kids through this book—there’s no doubt good conversations will come from it.

This is a fantastic, fun, friendly way for students to understand what it truly means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. But that’s not all! Through real-life examples and easy-to-understand illustrations, they’ll also learn how to grow spiritually and how to live in victory. Every ten to fourteen-year-old student needs this book, and they’ll love reading it!

The One Year Devotions with Jesus will challenge your kids to think and will hold their attention with a ton of fun facts and activities. By the time your kids finish this devotional, they will know the gospel, understand what it means to become a Christian, and know what true faith looks like. That is exactly what I want for my children. Put a copy under the Christmas tree for each of your teens and preteens—they’ll open it just in time to get started January 1.
