Love Him in the Morning: Reflections on God's Faithfulness

Thirty years after John Fischer wrote""The All Day Song,"" it is still sung at evangelical churches and youth campfires around the country. Here, he reveals the genesis of that song at the dawn of the""Jesus Movement,"" and says that while the ditty's early phrases about loving God in the morning and evening came naturally, the later injunction to love God""when you feel the pressure coming"" was more like an intuition of the future, because he wrote those words at the most carefree time in his life. Like the song itself, the book is superficially simple--Fischer uncovers hidden layers of depth and meaning in a down-to-earth and appealing way. His chapter on evening, for example, remarks upon regret and its importance as a catalyst for trusting in God's mercy, while the chapter on worry teases out the subtle balance between faith and action.
