Publisher's Description
Find God's peace in today's anxious world with this year-long journey through the Bible. Today's teenagers are all too familiar with fear, anxiety, polarization, and performance pressure. The demands of an increasingly virtual world coupled with the instability of a culture of outrage and angst has left our teens anxious and vulnerable. Crafted with this reality in mind, God With You is a 52-week chronological exploration of God's story in Scripture. Teenagers will experience Jesus as the lifter of their burdens and the source of their rest and hope. Each of the fifty-five contributors is a youth minister, teacher, or parent skilled in communicating the gospel to teenagers. Daily entries are filled with warmth and reassurance--as if the writer is talking with a teenager about the Bible over coffee or pizza. Included in each of the 260 entries are: Bible Learning: discover the redemptive narrative of the Bible and how the day's passages proclaim God's gracious character and point to Jesus. Gospel Application for Today: helps teenage readers discover how the biblical story applies to their lives, today. Each entry demonstrates how knowing Jesus helps teenagers deal with their burdens of identity-seeking, anxiety and depression, relational strife, injustice, and more from diverse perspectives. Deep Reassurance: focuses on the goodness of God and his forgiveness through the work of Christ, instead of dwelling on moral failures and spiritual to-do lists. To see Jesus in the pages of Scripture is to know him; to know him is to love him. The God With You devotional encourages teenagers to place their hope in the steadfast love and trustworthy character of Jesus, our Immanuel, God-with-us.

“Finally! A devotional book that presents God’s grace in a way today’s teens can trust—straightforward, unfiltered, and eminently applicable for the questions and issues they face every day. God with You does not dumb down the gospel; instead, readers will find themselves challenged to grapple with God’s promises, shape thoughts into prayers, and be transformed as their hearts and minds are made new. How I wish I would have had a copy of God with You when I was a teenager! It brims with the wisdom and grace one thirsts for at all stages of life but especially during the singularly spiky period known as adolescence. This is the Good News, digestibly delivered day after day without a whiff of condescension—zero homework vibes, in other words. Highly recommended and urgently needed. I’ll be gifting one to every teenager I know. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by the real questions and pressures teens face today, this devotional offers far more than inspiration; it points young people to a hope that is practical and resilient, grounded in God’s story, and strong enough to help them trust and follow Jesus in the midst of real life. Today’s students need resources for forming their faith in the one true God, as they are all too often deformed by a culture that consistently seeks to undermine their flourishing. God with You builds student faith by serving as a rich and trustworthy fertilizer to feed and energize the roots that will yield abundant fruit of great spiritual growth, both now and for the rest of their lives.”

“Most teens are spiritually starving. They may get one spiritual meal each week at youth group, but it’s not enough. Our sons and daughters need daily time with the Lord in his Word. If you want to see your children develop a strong foundation for their faith, this devotional is a great next step. Don’t just give it to your child; take the journey together and be prepared for what God will do. God with You is a must-have for all youth leaders. It’s useful as both a personal devotional and a resource for discipleship and preaching. The devotions here are biblically centered, theologically rich, and suitable for all contexts—for seeker and believer alike. If you’ve ever hoped for a gospel-soaked resource that refreshes you, raises the bar in your life, points you to Jesus every day, and understands you as a teen, this devotional may well be the answer to your prayer.”
