Title: 50 Devotions for a Thankful Heart

Author: Sarah Young

Series: Jesus Calling for Teens

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Publication Date: January 29, 2019

Jesus Calling for Teens: 50 Devotions for a Thankful Heart is written by Sarah Young, as well as adapted by Tama Fortner and edited by Kris Bearss. This teen devotional book focuses on thankfulness leading to a relationship with Jesus.

As the title indicates, this book features fifty devotionals, as well as full-color photographs and highlighted scripture verses to potentially memorize and ponder upon daily. As an individual study, this book encourages the reader to set aside time each day to read this devotional and pray.

This topical study is designed to help teenagers have a grateful heart and thankful attitude, by incorporating God's truth into their lives.

According to the Introduction, the author shares, "When we come to Jesus with a thankful heart, we can set aside worries and enjoy His presence. This grateful attitude helps us focus on our blessings and look for the miracles Jesus weaves into our lives. Through gratitude, the Word of Christ can live in us."

Also, this book is one of three books in a series for teens. The other two books are called Jesus Calling for Teens: 50 Devotions for Busy Days and Jesus Calling: 50 Devotions to Grow in Your Faith. 

50 Devotions for a Thankful Heart is a worthwhile book to give as a gift (or a gift set of all three books). It's recommended and geared towards younger readers, particularly junior high and high school students, yet other ages will enjoy this book, too. 

Note: I received this book from Book Look Bloggers, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
