Your Time is Now Devotional: Daily Inspirations to Go Get What God Has Given You By Jonathan Evans Book Review





Your Time is Now is a brand-new devotional from Jonathan Evans. The book enclosed 90 devotionals and is divide into nine parts. These parts included “now, but, look, go, confidence”, and much more. In the book, he shared how he was an NFL football player and he was dropped by the Dallas Cowboys. He shared how he was able to rise above this and to keep going forward. He started the first section of the devotional by exploring the power of now. The first day discussed Proverbs 3:5-6 and how we are instructed to trust God and how He will make guide us in our paths. He explained how now is the time to go after something new and to pursue everything God has for us. He looked at Joshua and how he became the leader after Moses and how his time was now. There wasn’t time for Israel to be mourning Moses instead it was time to move forward as a nation. He was able to become an effective leader and to go after his purpose. 

 



 

I would recommend this awesome devotional to anyone who is ready to step into God’s calling on their life and they are ready to go after their purpose. I loved how each day had a short story message, verse, application questions, and a prayer. I loved reading about Jonathan life and how open he was with losing his football dreams and what he learned about following after God’s purpose. One of my favorite days was about God rescuing us from our fears. He shared the story of the Lion King and Simba living with fear. I immensely loved how he turned this story into a story about Christ. I liked how he explained His death and how Jesus overcame his scars and how we cannot allow our past or fears to stop us.

Your Time is Now: Get What God Has Given You by Jonathan Evans Book Review





In Your Time is Now, Jonathan Evans has written a new book about living in the now and going after what God is calling you to accomplish in life. He begins the book by opening up about his background. He is the son of Tony Evans, the popular preacher and Jonathan shared how he struggled to figure out his own purpose. He was also at one point signed to the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and he shared how football was his life. After two months, of being signed he was kicked off the team. He shared how he became the chaplain of the Dallas Cowboys and co-chaplain for the Dallas Mavericks and serving in the national ministry. He explained the importance of the word now and the timing. He looked at Joshua and how he rose to a leadership position right after Moses. He recognized how the scriptures declared to Joshua that he was supposed to rise up now. The verse also used the word now twice. Jonathan went into extreme detail about the word now and how this is our season and we can’t wait until we are ready when God says to go, we need to move. He revealed how we need to learn to live out our purpose. He also asked readers to ponder and think on what in our lives has to die and what is keeping us from living out our purpose. 




 

 

I would recommend this book to anyone who is ready to walk into God’s calling on their lives and they are wanting to live fearless and go after their calling. I immensely loved he covered all the different areas of stepping into our purpose such as, now, but, go, confidence, wait, yes, and much more. One of my favorite things that he shared was the discussion on the secret from his father. He asked his father one time how he got to point A to point B. His father guidance was for him to go read Hebrews 11. This one talked about faith and how it is the things hoped for. It discussed Abel, Noah, Jacob and Esau, Joseph, Moses, Israelites, and much more and how they had faith and were able to see their lives changed. This taught him how to live in faith and walk in faith and how we can witness our lives change for the better.
