LONGWOOD, F-Peggy Britt has a plan for her readers-that they would find a deeper love for the Lord Jesus. Early in the Morning-I Rise to Meet Thee (paperback, 978-1-60266-970-3; hardcover, 978-1-60266-971-0) is full of the practical applications that give Christians the strength, knowledge, insight, and discernment necessary to get through each day. Britt's advice comes from 15 years of concentrated study in GodŐs Word and a lifestyle of Scripture application.
Britt has spent her Christian life developing the habit of spending time with her Father in the early morning. She writes, "During those early morning hours, God drew me into a love-trust relationship with Him-God Most High, the Ruler of the Universe met with me-imagine that!" It is this wonder and enthusiasm that she shares through her writing. "This book is a compilation of Bible-based meditations that will impact the life of the believer for the Kingdom of God. It will enable them to understand and apply GodŐs principles to their lives with renewed excitement."
These devotions are like a strong cup of coffee for the soul, awakening the reader to the presence of God and revealing access to His strength for the day. The morning brew is sweetened by the shared love of the Jesus, who waits to meet you.
Britt confesses that she was "a mess" when she first encountered Jesus. Spending her mornings with Him was not only a pleasure, it was a necessity. The years she has spent studying God's Word have proven to her that her greatest asset is being a daughter of the King and knowing Jesus as Savior and Lord of her life. This explains her radical decision to leave her day job to follow GodŐs call into writing. Peggy Britt is the youngest of 11 children, mother of Eric and Kristin, and grandmother to Maci and John. She lives in the Central Valley of California.
