The Youngs moved to Melbourne, Australia, in 1991, where Steve helped plant the first Japanese-language church in the city. Sarah started a counseling practice, helping women who had been sexually and spiritually abused find healing in Christ. Young began to meditate on God’s protection, visualizing each member of her family encircled by the Spirit. As she did, she later recalled, she had a mystical experience. She was enveloped by light and overcome by peace. Young’s passing was publicly announced in a statement from her publisher, HarperCollins Christian Publishing. Q&A with Sarah Young, Author Profile” (The Christian Broadcasting Network, http://www.cbn.com/ entertainment/books/ jesuscallingqa.aspx). I have become an avid reader/student of Sarah Young’s books. I read each one over and over daily, as I have for the past 3-4 years since I first read them. Each day gives me the strength appropriate to meet that day’s needs. I have already begun her latest, Jesus Listens. and love it. Sarah has taught me to talk with Jesus throughout each day and to listen to his voice. Many years ago, when I was in dire financial trouble, my then spiritual guru told me to write a thank you note to God daily. I balked but finally got into the habit. I haven’t missed a day since 1997. Even traveling the world, including Tibet, China, and godless countries. How I wish I could thank Sarah Young personally for the courage and love her words have brought to me, and the healing friends, to whom I’ve given her books, have experienced.

In an effort to support her position, Turner ironically links to an article that actually supports the complete freedom of expression that she attempts to discourage in her own article. The article she links to was excerpted from a book written by her “friend,” Liberty University English professor Karen Swallow Prior. Prior frames her piece with numerous and pertinent quotes from John Milton’s 1644 anti-censorship tract, Areopagitica. She writes that “Milton argued passionately in this treatise that the best way to counteract falsehood is not by suppressing it, but by countering it with the truth.” Prior states that the crux of Milton’s argument is that “truth is stronger than falsehood; falsehood prevails through the suppression of countering ideas, but truth triumphs in a free and open exchange that allows truth to shine.”3 Exactly! It is in this “free and open exchange” that Laura Turner has the right to say whatever she wants about Jesus Calling, but so does everyone else—even if they don’t happen to be “people who we know” and even if what they are saying and believing is that Jesus Calling is a “dangerous” book. The following are ten scriptural reasons explaining why so many of us believe that Jesus Calling is, in fact, a dangerous book. 10 Scriptural Reasons: (1) New Age Book Described as “a Treasure” Home » Pastor Pastora » Sarah Young Age, Wiki Bio【 Jesus Calling Book 】Kids Now, Husband Sarah Young Age, Wiki Bio【 Jesus Calling Book 】Kids Now, HusbandThe devotions in this book are some of the messages I have received.17 (emphasis added) The Bible Warns About Ungodly Change My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? (Proverbs 24:21-22) 3) Serving Two Masters They also pointed out the long history of devotional writing, including classic works by Andrew Murray, Oswald Chambers, and A. W. Tozer, was broadly accepted in evangelicalism. Young’s writing style might be different, but readers were very familiar with the devotional genre that critics seemed to wildly misunderstand. Helping readers connect with Jesus In 2004, Young published what would become her wildly successful daily devotional book Jesus Calling. One of my nieces (sister’s daughter-in-law) gave me Jesus Calling, while my oldest sister was in the hospital with Diabetes complications over 12 years ago. I Have since given many copies of Jesus Calling to family & Friends. Will continue to do so. Also To my 2nd oldest sister, who has eye disease where you actually slowly go blind, I got her the book with the CDs. She can now listen To Jesus Calling everyday.

Young said she was astounded by the commercial success of her writing, but was glad she could help people connect with Jesus. As sales numbers grew astronomical, she committed to continue praying for all of her readers. Remember that I’m always praying for you,” she wrote upon publication of Jesus Listens. “But most importantly, remember that Jesus is always with you, listening to every one of your prayers.” I grabbed it,” she told CBN. “I went into the other room, and I read it immediately. I just was kind of like, ‘I’m at peace.’”This is not a far cry from a practice known as ‘automatic writing’ which Wikipedia describes as ‘an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. The words are claimed to arise from a subconscious, spiritual or supernatural source,’” wrote Challies at the time. “This practice is very different from the giving of biblical revelation where God worked through the thoughts, personalities, and even research of the authors.” After these unbiblical statements in the original Jesus Calling were publicized in 2013,19 Sarah Young’s “Jesus” changed the wording of his two statements in a special Jesus Calling, 10th Anniversary Edition published in 2014.20 Compare the original January 28th and October 15th “messages” that had been in Jesus Calling since 2004, with the replacement words that were inserted into the 10th anniversary edition in 2014. Notice how the two phrases “These were the last words I spoke” and “My final statement” have been removed and “after My resurrection” has been inserted in their place. Sarah Young’s “Jesus” contradicts the warnings of the true Jesus Christ in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, and the whole Book of Revelation when he states—“The future is a phantom, seeking to spook you. Laugh at the future!”47 In contrast, in the Bible, the true Jesus makes it clear that the future is no laughing matter. He goes to great lengths to describe the serious events that will transpire at the end of time. He tells His disciples to “be not troubled” by these future happenings, but He does not tell them to laugh at these events or to take them lightly. Rather He tells them to “watch” and “be ready” and to “not be deceived” by the false Christs and false prophets that will come in His name (Matthew 24:3-5, 24, 42, 44).
