God's Great Story: A Daily Devotional for Teens
One-Year Devotional Helps Teens Establish Daily Scripture-Reading Habits Young adulthood is often a pivotal stage in the life and faith of a believer. Christian teens are confronted with many challenges, making it harder for them to adopt effective Bible-reading habits. How can teens maintain a deep and fruitful relationship with Scripture while managing busy schedules and exciting new stages of life? God’s Great Story by Jon Nielson unpacks Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, helping young adults grasp God’s full narrative and form helpful reading habits to keep a strong relationship with the Lord. Designed to be read in a year, each of the 365 daily devotionals includes a summary, a practical application, and a guide for personal prayer and meditation. Readings build off of each other to help readers grasp God’s grand story of redemption and the full saving work of the Son.

Fantastic devotional! Crossway also published an ESV Bible with Nielson’s devotionals scattered throughout. Love it!

For this review of God’s Great Story – A Daily Devotional for Teens by Jon Nielson, you will get my daughter and my thoughts of the devotion, as it is geared towards 15-21 year olds.
Before passing this onto my daughter, I read through the description and the first few weeks of devotions, and I am highly impressed. As many devotional books put out these days end up being light on Scripture and watered down. First, the author Jon, who put this together, does an excellent job of how to use the book and how to study the Bible. He encourages, or maybe I should say begs the reader to make sure to read the Bible passages that go through that days written devotion, which summarizes what the passage says and then follows it up with action for the reader to apply it. I am glad he does because it is more important to read the Bible passage than the devotion, so you can hear God speak to you through His Word.
My daughter had this to say from what she has read so far: “Jon gives a good introduction and description about the Bible passage you are reading about. This book goes through most of the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. He gives a Bible passage to read from your Bible, followed up with a summary and some questions to ask yourself of what it is about, what to pray, or be thankful for. God’s Great Story is a yearly devotion, so one page a day for a year. Jon did a great job with this devotion. I give it 5 stars out of 5!!”
