Have you ever considered that Jesus could actually be walking alongside you? Like right now, in this very moment—even though you can’t see him. If you knew that for sure, how would it change your day? Your life? Because you can’t see or hear Jesus with your physical eyes and ears, walking with him takes a different kind of seeing and hearing. And as you learn to walk with him, your faith will grow, and your life will never be the same.
Through a month of meditations, Drew Hill invites you to look for Jesus with the eyes of your heart and learn to hear his voice. As you encounter Jesus, you will begin to see yourself through his eyes.
Alongside Jesus uses a daily devotional format, and each chapter takes a look at a different truth about Jesus and invites you to establish an “Alongside Practice” that will help solidify this truth in your heart. Each week includes a weekend conversation with your “Alongsider”—a parent, mentor, or friend who can help you process what you’re reading. These encounters with Jesus will help you see that Jesus is closer than anyone else could ever be.
Alongside Jesus is the first book in the Devotions for Teenagers series.
My Thoughts
Are you looking for a devotional to help your teenagers grow in their relationship with Jesus? “Alongside Jesus” is a beautiful devotional you can read, discuss and experience with your teenager. It is a book I wish I had as a teenager to help me navigate the waters as a new follower of Christ. I think this devotional will help them figure out what it means to follow Jesus by drawing them in with weekly conversation prompts and includes an “Alongside Practice” that gives action steps to developing a lifelong walk with Jesus. This devotional book is terrific at showing how Jesus is alive and wants to walk through life with us. I loved how the book prepares teenagers’ hearts to meet with Jesus and hear from Him. It’s the perfect practical resource for teenagers to show them how to start their walk with Jesus and to get to know their creator better and who He created them to be.
