Summary

Try as we might, sometimes we find ourselves yawning through our early-morning devotions with God. We experience spiritual dryness, getting stuck in a boring, predictable rut. As spiritual blinders grow over our eyes, we grow increasingly discouraged.

In seasons of dryness we need something fresh. Just as in any good relationship, our time with God needs a little variety. We need some different ways to meet God, some activities to enliven our time together. That's what this book is all about.

Pam Farrel has put together thirty ideas with stories and examples that will inspire you to try them for yourself. You can adapt this book to your situation -- interspersing these ideas with your regular routine or spending a month trying one new idea each day.

Next time you are feeling sleepy, don't hit the snooze button; try one of these new ways to meet God.
