Around the bible in 80 days – by Sophie and Jess

It’s amazing that two of our former young people have contributed towards a fantastic new devotional! Check out the story in their own words…

Around the bible in 80 days.

‘Around the world in 80 days’ is the name of a novel that came out in 1872. It tells the compelling story of two men

racing against time to travel the world in just eighty days. Of course travelling has become so much easier since then, with vast technology improvements, but in a post COVID-19 world travelling around the world in 80 days is probably near impossible. However, we would like to invite you to do something even better that is entirely possible, journeying through the Bible in eighty days, and we’d like to share with you a brilliant devotional that follows this theme.

‘One True God 80 Devotions’ is an eighty day devotional aimed at teenagers. The idea behind the title is taken from the image of a 180 degree turn – a complete change, a new direction, lives turned around for Jesus. Remember what your life was like when you committed to following Jesus – how much you changed? This book has been created to encourage and challenge teenagers to turn their lives around for Jesus.

This book, produced by Girlz 4 Christ Ministry in America, has been written by over 25 people from at least three continents. Each day starts with a verse or two from the Bible, the author shares a story or thought and it closes with a challenge/action point to encourage the reader to respond. Some of the topics throughout book include faith, friendship and leaning on God through all circumstances. We wrote pieces on self-worth, God-given gifts and social media among other things.

We b

elieve this book has the potential to be a great blessing, and we’re really excited to see what God does through it in the lives of, hopefully, many young people.

If this devotional sounds like something a teenager in your life would benefit from, please prayerfully consider gifting them a copy. ‘One True God 80 Devotions’ is available on Amazon in paperback and kindle format.
And please join us in praying as this challenging idea of a 180 degree turn for Jesus is brought to many teenagers all around the world.

Thank you
