"I don't know about you, but I need all the help I can get when it comes to spiritually jump-starting my day. Some days I get up and it is all I can do to concentrate on a few verses of Scripture. Other days I feel tempted to blow off my twenty minutes of reading because I'm anxious that I have too much to do. On such days I have found it helpful to have a source to direct my thoughts toward God. I need a tool to help me rouse my weary spirit and prepare to take on yet another day of kingdom building. In short, I need a wake-up call. Do you? "So writes Will Davis Jr., in "Wake-Up Calls." "Wake-Up Calls" helps bleary-eyed Christians to better see God's kingdom. It deals practically with such topics as temptation, sin, prayer, relationships, suffering, conflict, death and obedience with honesty and in-your-face clarity. If you need a blast of kingdom reality that cuts through the morning's spiritual fog, then "Wake-Up Calls" is for you.
