The new year promises fresh starts, new goals, and renewed energy - but real spiritual renewal doesn't begin with productivity, resolutions, or self-improvement.
It begins with putting God first.
In this warm, pastoral, and deeply reflective guide, Pastor John E. Miller invites readers on a Spirit-led journey of resetting the heart, reordering priorities, and learning to live a life centered on God's presence rather than pressure, hurry, or expectation.
It begins with putting God first.
In this warm, pastoral, and deeply reflective guide, Pastor John E. Miller invites readers on a Spirit-led journey of resetting the heart, reordering priorities, and learning to live a life centered on God's presence rather than pressure, hurry, or expectation.
Through short chapters, opening story vignettes, Scripture-anchored reflections, and journaling prompts, this book walks gently through themes such as:
Not about doing more for God - but about becoming more aware of God.
Whether you are entering a new year, a new season, or simply longing to reset your spiritual rhythm, First Things First will help you:
Start again - not with pressure... but with God first.
- learning to slow your pace and walk with God
- choosing faithfulness over busyness and performance
- creating margin, practicing rest, and trusting God with the unknown
- returning when you drift - and receiving grace on imperfect days
- living a Spirit-filled life, not just at the beginning of the year...
...but through every season that follows
Not about doing more for God - but about becoming more aware of God.
Whether you are entering a new year, a new season, or simply longing to reset your spiritual rhythm, First Things First will help you:
- Realign your heart around what matters most
- Reorder your days around God's presence
- Rediscover peace, clarity, and steady devotion
Start again - not with pressure... but with God first.
