PSALMS as a PERFECT GIFT!

Earth Psalms
This isn't a book review
it's just a very strong gift recommendation
for you or someone you love
maybe for this
Mother's Day
or
any special day or just a day that you'll make special for them
or
yourself

I just happened upon it at our nearby public library and I wish I could keep it checked out to read one each week of the year (because there are 52 beautiful devotions and reflections!!!) You can check out some at Francine Rivers website!

every one is this awesome
pointing us to our
Creator
I'd love to be "gifting" this book to each of us!
For now, I'll be content with my library version before it's due (in two weeks???-not use to this again yet)
{Very impressed that someone requested or chose this along with some other really great choices although I am far from short on books to read, I couldn't pass this one up!}

Each devotional is personalized lessons in nature

starting with a scripture verse, 

followed by "Reflect, Apply, Connect (prayer)" sections

ending with a Psalm however what makes it unique are the exquisite photographs throughout the 208 pages plus often a part of a hymn or song
You have to have the hardbound copy to hold because the Kindle version  just does not do justice to the images
Of course, the real Artist is God and His handiwork in nature!

"For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they (we) can clearly see His invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature. So (we) they have no excuse for not knowing God."Intro

lines up perfectly with the online study of reading Psalms with the book
"Redeemed ..."

"... God speaks through nature" (the rest of the title of "Earth Psalms: reflections on how ...)
this is clearly shown in this book and words


You do realize another selling or buying point for me in any devotional are the prayers here is a sample of one that goes with her #16 devotion  of my life verse 2 Timothy 1:7

"Dear God, so often I feel like a turtle, retreating into my shell because it's safe. But making safety my first priority won't lead to growth. I don't want to miss the opportunities around me because I'm too afraid to take a risk. You have given me a spirit of courage. Please help me to trust You, to trust Your love for me and Your good plans for my life. Help me to move forward in courage."
