One Life

By Jim Burns

Perhaps no one knows how to touch the hearts and minds of young people as writer and radio broadcaster Jim Burns. These fifty fresh devotional readings cover many of the major issues of life and faith that students wrestle with today. Sexual purity, the pressure to compromise, family relationships, trusting God, servanthood, worry, fatigue, and daily surrender are just a few of the topics Burns explores. Scripture and personal application questions are integrated throughout, while historical and contemporary stories, quotes, profiles of courage, and even illustrations from children's literature help students relate these concepts to their lives. Youth leaders and parents will find this a tremendous resource for teaching, while young adults will enjoy the book for use in their personal quiet time.

A Relevant Devotional

As the youth coordinator for a new youth ministry, I searched for a while to find a devotional which met my standards. I desired a devotional that was brief enough to give to a young Christian, yet personal enough that it could challenge my more advanced students. I am pleased to say that I found this devotional to fit the bill. It is written so it does not alienate new believers and has questions that ask purposeful questions even of my most spiritually-apt youth. It is a good devotional, and I recommend it for any young person who is seeking a way to look at the basic beliefs of Christianity.
