Summary
What do you wake up to each day？ What do you discover once your eyes have opened and you put your feet to the floor？ A mountain of notifications？ An endless feed of headlines that make you angry？ A flood of tasks that you can’t possibly get done in the next twenty-four hours？
What if you could wake up each day to discover something so much bigger—and so much better for you—than all that chaos？ What if you could discover God？ What if you could discover yourself in light of that God？ What if your eyes could be opened to the things that really mattered？ What if， in one simple devotional a day， you could glean principles from timeless wisdom to sharpen you for each day's inevitable challenges？
In her lyrical， compelling， and poignant voice， bestselling author and Bible teacher Jackie Hill Perry offers sixty short， daily reflections on specific passages from Scripture to help you awaken to the God you were made for， the life you were made for， and the person you were made to be。

Every year I try to find the book I have enjoyed the most to gift at Christmas to those women closest to me。 This year it's going to be Upon Waking。 Jackie Hill Perry speaks truth in each day of devotions。Jackie Hill Perry says at the beginning of the book that she doesn't like devotionals， yet she wrote one。 Upon Waking has a verse with Perry's throughs of truth for the verse。 These have been speaking to me， a woman who has done devotions for over 35 years。 She doesn't add fluff to the devotion Every year I try to find the book I have enjoyed the most to gift at Christmas to those women closest to me。 This year it's going to be Upon Waking。 Jackie Hill Perry speaks truth in each day of devotions。Jackie Hill Perry says at the beginning of the book that she doesn't like devotionals， yet she wrote one。 Upon Waking has a verse with Perry's throughs of truth for the verse。 These have been speaking to me， a woman who has done devotions for over 35 years。 She doesn't add fluff to the devotion， but just what a person needs to start the day encouraged， or even conviction of change needed。 I encourage all Christian women to buy this book， regardless of stage in Christian walk。 I received a complimentary copy of Upon Waking thanks to publisher and NetGalley， but all opinions are my own。 。。。more

Happy release day！ In the introduction， Jackie Hill Perry confesses her general avoidance of devotionals， claiming that they often lack depth and focus on self。 I nodded along as I read， having experienced the difference between “fluff” and “meat” in various devotionals。 What I found interesting and helpful though， is that she doesn’t claim to have written some super deep devotional that fills in the gap that all others have missed。 Instead， she reminds us that devotionals are meant to be the ap Happy release day！ In the introduction， Jackie Hill Perry confesses her general avoidance of devotionals， claiming that they often lack depth and focus on self。 I nodded along as I read， having experienced the difference between “fluff” and “meat” in various devotionals。 What I found interesting and helpful though， is that she doesn’t claim to have written some super deep devotional that fills in the gap that all others have missed。 Instead， she reminds us that devotionals are meant to be the appetizer that gets us ready for the main course of God’s Word。 This sixty day devotional does a wonderful job of whetting the appetite for more of God。 Each entry is short， beginning with a verse or two followed by some thoughts to help us ponder the context or meaning of the verse（s）。 Aside from the introduction， I really appreciate two things about this devotional:1。） I love the title。 Upon Waking lends itself to literal use in a waking up routine。 I may still be bleary-eyed， but making the Lord my first thought over Instagram or email will always be a good thing。 2。） The length。 I am not always able to stay with a devotional for a whole year， so I like that this one is just 60 days。 I imagine I’m not the only one who operates this way 🙂Many thanks to Netgalley and B&H Publisher for the advanced review copy。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This is a beautiful devotional book。 I loved the intro that reminded the reader that these kinds of devotional books aren’t meant to be meat， but the appetizer that invites us to spend more time in the Word。 Even so， I found these daily readings went deeper than many I’ve read in the past and brought up questions and things to think about。 Thank you to B&H Books and Netgalley for digital copy to review。 All opinions my own。
