“I’m praying you’ll be beckoned away each day from the fast-paced, temporal whirlwind of lesser (though necessary) tasks and be refocused on greater things—things that aren’t applauded and appreciated by most, but are eternally recognized by One . . . the One who makes life worth living. The One who wants to Awaken you each day to the sound of His voice.” – Priscilla Shirer, Awaken
Nashville, Tenn. (July 2017)—New York Times bestselling author and Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer is set to release her first devotional for women, Awaken: 90 Days with the God Who Speaks (August 15, 2017, B&H Publishing). Awaken is Shirer’s latest book release following the international success of the award-winning Fervent: A Woman’s Battle Plan to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer (October 2015, B&H Publishing).
Shirer, a gifted and experienced Bible teacher known for her faithfulness to the Scriptures, hopes to get women “alone with God, with His Word, eager to hear his voice, and prepared to humbly and obediently respond.” Shirer’s heart for women’s ministry is evident in Awaken’s 90 devotions, which she describes as “personal whispers from God’s Spirit to my own soul over the last decade.”
“My prayer is that these passages bring an added layer of dimension, or even just some renewed direction, to women as they spend time with the Savior over the next 90 days,” Shirer says. “Whether young or old, I pray that readers be encouraged and realigned toward the simple beauty of sitting with Him, hearing Him, speaking to Him, and being enlightened by His love letter to them.”
Shirer has written multiple bestselling books and Bible studies, including the 2016 ECPA “Christian Book of the Year” Fervent. She regularly speaks to thousands at conference venues and churches around the world and recently starred in the #1 box office feature “War Room.”
LifeWay Christian Stores is running an exclusive presale discount on Awaken until the release of the book. From July 3 to August 15, Awaken will be discounted from $16.99 to $9.99.
