If we believe that God created the universe and everything in it, then it is not unreasonable to think that we can learn from His creations. From the majestic humpback whale, who offers a glimpse into God's mysteries, to the humble blackbird whose calls can open our eyes to songs of joy that sing through the cosmos, the animal kingdom is a treasure trove of images of our Creator. This inspiring book examines the life of a particular animal and draw lessons of the divine for our own lives. Each chapter has accompanying scripture passages for reflection, prayer and meditation. This is a wonderful resource for both private devotions and group study. We are a nation of animal lovers, and with more and more churches having pet services, this unique little book is a must stock for booksellers.
Elizabeth Canham, an Episcopal priest and native of England, is the author of Heart Whispers and Journaling with Jeremiah. She is director of the Hospites Mundi spirituality center in North Carolina.
