"I don't know when Greg's mind rests, but it's not when he writes. Drawing from a trove of stories and wisdom gleaned from his voracious reading, he shares encouraging, often inspiring, day-by-day paths of hope leading to transformative weekly worship."

What if the key to a more meaningful and spiritually connected week lies hidden in plain sight within the creation story? Following Creation invites readers to journey through the days of creation, discovering a unique practice for each day of the week. On Mondays, embrace the theme of light by casting hope and joy into the world. On Tuesdays, bring order to chaos, just as God did on the second day. Wednesdays become a time for growth, for nurturing the good within ourselves. Each Thursday, experience awe through reflecting on the majesty of the heavens. Use Fridays to ignite your creativity and connect with God's imaginative work. On Saturdays, foster community and banish loneliness, leading to a restful and worshipful Sunday. Through this book's daily guide, you'll learn to reflect on God's creative rhythm in your own life, cultivating a deeper relationship with the divine. Whether you read chapter by chapter or follow the weekly structure, Following Creation offers a path to aligning your work, rest, and spiritual practice with the sacred blueprint of creation.
