Should Christians read Jesus calling?

The great danger of faddish, new age books like "Jesus Calling" is that they drive a wedge between God’s people and His Word, encouraging them to look beyond the scope of Scripture for additional words from the Lord. 

In simple terms, they devalue the Bible and elevate emotional experiences and imaginary voices to the level of divine authority. 

And when anything you hear or feel could be the Lord speaking, you leave yourself open to all sorts of heresy and satanic lies. 

God’s people need to be wary of anyone who assumes to speak for Him. 

We need to defend the authority of His Word against all pretenders. 

And we need to help shepherd other believers away from the popular desire for special revelation and back to the all-sufficient Word of God. 

I like devotional books, but books that point us back to the Word of God, not medieval mysticism.

Unfortunately, many Christian publishers today 'sell out' to publish anything that sells even if it promotes theological error.

NIV version says this... 

'Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;

rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is

of some value, but godliness has value for all things,

holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. '

1 Timothy 4:7-8 https://my.bible.com/bible/111/1TI.4.7-8

NASB1995 version says this...

'But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for

old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for

the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of

little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things,

since it holds promise for the present life and

also for the life to come. ' 1 Timothy 4:7-8 https://my.bible.com/bible/100/1TI.4.7-8
