Reseña del libro "Merry Christmas Advent to Epiphany: A Devotional Inspired by Nature: Volume 3 (en Inglés)"
I am often asked to write an endorsement or a forward for a new book, but this time, I begin this endorsement with a "feeling of excitement." I absolutely loved the idea of linking nature to a devotional. Nature has always been inspiring to me, and I often talk to God as I walk through the beauty of God's creation around me. How can you possibly see the beauty and wonder of our planet and our universe without being inspired by the God who made it. So, when I looked at even the very idea of this manuscript I was inspired. I read the book and then I sat down to write this. I first took a walk through the wonder and beauty of God's creation around me. As always, l can not walk through the trees or along a creek or stream without being inspired. Therefore, as I write these words I am inspired not only by this book, but by my last encounter with nature. As I read the pages, I met an author who through the beauty of her writings has linked nature and Divine inspiration and truly inspired me. Just to think about nature and talking to God brings inspiration to my whole being. So, with anticipation and great emotion, I endorse MERRY CHRISTMAS by Shirley D. Andrews. As I looked at the beautiful pictures I saw nature, but I also felt the hand of God. As I read the words of this manuscript, I knew that this author would introduce me to God, because like the artist inside of me, I would feel and experience God by what I was about to read, and I did. Thank you, Shirley for introducing me again to the God who spoke nature into existence. You must experience this book and see the God who not only has his eye on the sparrow, but made the sparrow. Shirley, you will truly inspire the world. - Dr. Thomas F. Reid I love the way Shirley brings us into the presence of our "EXTRAORDINARY" Lord through what we mistakenly consider the ordinary. Thank you Shirley for helping us to see God and draw closer to Him. Job 12:7-10 & Romans 1:20 - Rev. Jay Richmond President, Renewal Prayer Network Albany, NY Volume 3 of Shirley Andrews' daily devotions highlights the wonderful works of God in nature and recognizes His gracious work in our lives and relationships. Shirley invites us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. - Pastor Dave Martin Elder, Upper New York Annual Conference Hope United Methodist Church, Troy, New York
