First Things First: Ordering a Life Around God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241751669)

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.
Through short chapters, opening story vignettes, Scripture-anchored reflections, and journaling prompts, this book walks gently through themes such as:

• 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

This is not a book about perfection - it is a book about alignment.
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

This book is ideal for personal reflection, small-group study, New Year's emphasis, or spiritual renewal retreats - and is designed to be returned to year after year as a companion for the journey.
Start again - not with pressure... but with God first.
