Book Review: #Truth by Josh McDowell
In the same way that parents often ask for parenting book recommendations, teens love to ask their Christian counselors/mentors what devotional books they recommend. Josh McDowell’s #Truth: 365 Devotions for Teens, Connecting Life and Faith is a great choice.
Why Choose This Devotional Book?
Format
In addition to being organized into brief, daily readings, each month of readings shares a common theme. For example, each reading for the month of October is centered around the Truth about God’s Kingdom, each devotional in December pertains to the Truth about Christ’s Return, and so forth.
Content
Josh McDowell gets it. His entire ministry is about following youth and cultural trends. So, he knows the audience he’s writing to and he knows their world. But he doesn’t join that world just to connect with them. Rather, Josh knows how to give today’s youth the Truth in exactly the way they long to hear it. And with that credibility, he leads them into a much wider eternal perspective than they are used to hearing from the world.
