I rarely reread books. Life is too short, but the Bible is the one book worth reading over and over again.
Christ cried out, βMy God, My God, why have you forsaken meβ so that we can now say, βMy God, my God, why do you remember me?β
βThe closer you get to someone, the more you see their flaws. Not so with Jesus. The closer you get to Christ, the more you see His perfections.β
~Rick Holland
Check out this new book by @mitchellchase and @drandrewhebert on sermon preparation released this week!

Ever wonder how some people can drink coffee after dinner and sleep like a baby, while others are staring at the ceiling after a cup at 2 p.m.?
One reason: We donβt all metabolize caffeine at the same rate. Genetics play a role, but so do age, medications, and certain medical conditions.
And decaf isnβt necessarily caffeine-free! A grande (16 oz) @Starbucks decaf Pike Place Roast contains about 25 mg of caffeine compared to a 12-oz can of @CocaCola has 34 mg.

Thank you Christine Chappell for this new contribution to the 31 day devotion series. Christine walks through a passage each day that addresses different aspects of lament. Consider picking up this compassionate guide by @chappellwrites on how to cry out to God about present trials in light of future hope.
Nathan declared David guilty
Pilate declared Jesus not guilty
Nathan, βYou are the man.β
Pilate, βBehold the man.β
David deserved death.
Jesus didnβt deserve death.
David lived, and his child died.
Jesus died, and His children live.
Jesus rose, and David will live.

Getting continual good sleep is crucial, and getting continual poor sleep is problematic. Sleep is a struggle for many!
In @Matt_Rehrer's new book *When Sleep Won't Come: Help and Hope for Body and Soul* (from @newgrowthpress), he helps us think about this topic.
The book is available now, here: amazon.com/When-Sleep-Wont-Cβ¦
Grateful to @gregegifford a thoughtful discussion of my book, When Sleep Wonβt Come, on the Transformed podcast. Check it out to hear more about the book and its practical applications for counseling!

Thankful for @RevDaveHarvey who captured the book in these words,
βSleep. We think little of this thing we do so much... Clear, winsome, biblical, and practical, this book turns our attention to the wonder of Godβs design for slumber and invites moments of worship along the way. If you struggle to sleepβor love someone who doesβthis book would be a timely gift.β
I hope this book truly is a help for those who struggle to sleep.

I have struggled with sleep for many years. Itβs especially hard for me to fall asleep and so I was thankful when I found out my friend Matt Rehrer was writing a book with @newgrowthpress on that very topic. Iβve now read it and it is an excellent book! You can pick up a discounted copy at the link below.
Hereβs the endorsement I wrote:
βThis is the book Iβve been waiting for! As one who has struggled for years with getting quality sleep, these pages were a balm for my weary soul. I was encouraged to pray for and prepare for better sleep while also being challenged to look to God in the midst of a sleepless night. Who better to write this book than someone who is both a physician and a pastor? Dr. Rehrer has offered up solid biblical and medical advice as someone who has helped many with sleep and also struggled with it himself. If you struggle with sleep or know someone who does, do yourself a favorβget a copy for yourself and for them. You wonβt be disappointed!β

We count sheep instead of remembering we are sheep.
We count sheep instead of calling out to the Good Shepherd.
From When Sleep Won't Come
Remembered this hymn:
God never moves without purpose or plan,
When trying His servant and molding a man.
Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long;
In darkness He gives us a song.
