Sarah Young's Calling from Jesus relates the captivating backstory of author Sarah Kelly Young--the phenomenally successful writer of
Jesus Calling,
Jesus Listens, and many other devotional titles. Sarah's brother, Timothy Kelly, explores and celebrates the love of Christ that transformed Sarah and the entire Kelly family--a love that is available for all--offering encouragement and inspiration.
Sharing a similar outlook and search for truth, Timothy's spiritual journey often paralleled his sister's, and he had the privilege of walking closely with her across every era of her life. In this book, he draws on his own experiences, as well as the memories of others who knew and worked with Sarah. As you read this absorbing account, you will discover the breadth and depth of the monumental burdens Sarah suffered, as well as the enduring peace and freedom she found in Jesus, even in the midst of life's worst storms. You will also learn how the light of Jesus transformed the Kelly family from one of difficulties and dysfunction to one of loving closeness. In many cases, Sarah's struggles reflect the challenges we all face--which is one reason her writings have touched so many people so deeply.
This book includes the first-ever telling of how the
Jesus Calling book came to be--a behind-the-scenes story that was ten years in the making, culminating in an unexpected offer just when it seemed that publication was not to be.
