Produktbeschreibung

Rediscover the wonder and tranquility of God's Creation in Nature Unveiled , a 40-day devotional from author and former forester Jill Smith that explores the beauty and mystery of the natural world and how it points us to the Creator. Nature Unveiled: 40 Reflections on Experiencing God's Creation is a thought-provoking and spiritually enriching 40-day devotional that seamlessly blends nature with scripture. Through insightful reflections and captivating illustrations, readers will gain a deeper understanding of God's creation and their place within it. Each day's writing reminds us that the beauty of the natural world is a reflection of God's love and how we are called to be stewards of the Earth. Designed to be inspirational and spiritual, devotions are divided into three categories--plants, animals, and land--with each day offering a short reading, reflection, and questions. From families to church groups, homebodies to avid outdoorsmen, Nature Unveiled is a knowledgeable and contemplative guide for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the environment. In Nature Unveiled, Smith uses nature to teach readers how to: * Build and maintain strong relationships * Turn to God during life's battles * Surrender to God's plans for your life * Remain faithful in times of uncertainty and change * Extend forgiveness to ourselves and others * Reconnect with God in moments of rest Nature Unveiled invites us to connect with the natural world in a profound and meaningful way. Whether hiking in a national park, working in a community garden, or visiting a local park, we can all gain a new appreciation for the intricacies and wonders of the world He made. Praise for Nature Unveiled "Jill Smith combines her knowledge of nature as a professional forester with her love for God and His creation to produce a book that is both informative and inspirational. She invites us to see through her eyes and open our hearts to the spiritual truth God reveals through plants, animals, and land. These forty devotions will forever change the way you see the world." --Lori Hatcher, author of Refresh Your Hope, 60 Devotions for Trusting God with All Your Heart "Jill has the refreshing gift of awe and wonder! In Nature Unveiled she continually invites us to be curious about all that is right in front of us and to let it open our hearts to God and His personal love for us. Her questions help us to wonder about our world, our own hearts, and the heart of God." --Kathy Koellein, Spiritual Director of Dovehouse ministries
