Rise and Shine: Encouragement to Start Your Day

by Liz Curtis Higgs

Book Overview

When you rise from your bed, how many minutes does it take before you truly shine? Oh, dear. That long. Might I have just two of those precious minutes each morning? Two minutes to whisper a gentle word of encouragement, to brush a feather across your funny bone, to prove how beautiful and valuable you are to God? Two minutes. No calories, no squat thrusts, I promise. Rise, sister mine. And shine.

Customer Reviews

Inspirational and funny

Love this little book--it gives me a good start in the morning. Have purchased many to give as gifts.

Rise and Shine

This book is great. After hearing the author at a conference I immediately went on line to find some of her book to order and read. A month of daily readings both touching, thought provoking and funny. A true reflection of Liz Curtis Higgs.

Rise and Shine it is!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and am in the process of starting it all over again. It's a GREAT way to start the morning and a FANTASTIC way to add to your daily devotions and bible readings.

Wonderful devotional!

I love this book! Normally I don't read devotionals, preferring to spend my time studying the Bible in-depth. But my sister purchased this for me, knowing I'm a huge LCH fan. I can't praise this book enough. Every morning I look forward to reading the day's devotional, and often I end up reading three or four before I can put the book down. It's a terrific way to start the day out right--praising God, drawing into His presence, and having a good chuckle while I'm at it. Kudos to you, Liz, for writing such a lovely book.

Funny, Uplifting, and Easy to Absorb! - 5 minutes a day!

Liz Curtis Higgs speaks from the heart. She has been there, done that, and survived it all to write it down and relate to you! The book is divided into a daily devotional, about 2 easy to read pages for each day. Liz recommends only reading one devotional per day so that you do not get spiritual whiplash!Liz writes on a practical spiritual level, she does not talk down to her readers or preach her beliefs in an over-bearing way.I really recommend this book to anyone who is looking for that little extra lift, or to anyone who needs that constant reassurance that life, in general, is ok no matter how chaotic it is. Give this book one week and it will become part of your normal morning routine. Start each morning the right way!It may change your attitude and maybe even your life!
