Under His Wings: What I Learned from God While Watching Birds

by Joy E. DeKok, Cristine Bolley

You don't have to be a dedicated birdwatcher to gain life-changing truths from Under His Wings. This devotional collection is drawn from the world of birds-the same creatures that won't fall to the ground without God's notice. Each selection describes birds in their natural habitats, and makes a spiritual point for humans, who, according to Luke 12, are worth more than "many sparrows." After each devotional are quotes and verses to consider, followed by a "For the Birds" tip- ideas on feeding and caring for birds nearby. Uses Scripture from the NIV, NKJV, Amplified, and Living Bible.

Genres: Christian, Nonfiction

A birdwatcher writes devotional chapters centered around the antics and habits of her feathered guests. Accessible, rich---- her insights bear the earmark of meditative thought. Each chapter closes with scripture passages and a tip for attracting birds to your own yard.

I received this book as a gift several years ago. I reread it periodically. I love all her stories and observations in just 3 or 4 pages per chapter. It's the kind of book you can pick any chapter and read for enjoyment.

I loved the beautiful lessons in this book. I bated to see it end.

I was sorry to finish this devotional; in fact I have decided to start at the beginning again. It feeds my soul on many levels and I know I'll learn and see more the second time through.
