Publisher's Description
Many people struggle to make time for God in their busy schedules or just aren't morning people--this book addresses those issues by helping Christians establish (and stick with) a spiritual morning routine. The practice of waking early to seek God's presence is woven into the fabric of God's word. From the Gospels to the Psalms, from the wisdom literature to the historical narratives, the Bible resounds with the call to seek God early, to set the tone of our day with prayer, and to surrender the unfolding hours to his presence. In The GREAT Morning Revolution, Tara Beth Leach shares how she adopted the ritual of rising early and discovered the transformative power of mornings with God--and she invites you to do the same. With practical guidance, spiritual encouragement, and a structured-yet-flexible approach, she shows you how to find sacred serenity in the early hours that will reshape your perspective and deepen your relationship with God. The GREAT acronym provides guidance for your morning routine and can be adapted to meet your lifestyle and personal needs: Gratitude: Start each day with a grateful heart and recognize blessings that are often overlooked. Reflection: Examine your thoughts, actions, and motivations before a holy and gracious God. Exalt: Praise and honor God's goodness in your life. Ask: Present your requests to God and open yourself up to the guidance that comes from seeking God. Trust: Surrender to God's will, leading to peace and reassurance throughout the day. The book also provides tools for building the discipline needed for habit formation and lasting change. For those who desire a deeper relationship with God but have trouble setting aside time for Him, The GREAT Morning Revolution holds a promise of renewal.

“Tara Beth Leach hasn’t simply added one more book to the library of “how a Christian ought to do things.” Rather, she invites us into a deep place of remembrance—a place and time, the morning, in which we can begin to drink deeply from the well of the mercies of God that he expects us to drain by day’s end, such that we may drink again the next morning of his newest installment of the day’s mercies that await us. Read this book slowly. Read it meditatively. Practice what our author invites us to do. And witness over time the transformation that will surely come.”
