Hi everybody! Just joined the forum. I'm a nature lover who writes books about birds, nature, and gardening.

Pretty excited about a new project I'm working on, and would love to hear what you think.

It's a new book that uses references in the Bible as a solid source of natural history. It includes quotes from Scripture about birds, and then explores how those references pertain to the habits and behavior of those birds in real life.

Many birds are mentioned in just a word or two, something that many readers may just pass right over. Yet there is meaning in even the slightest reference.

Seems to me that learning more about the birds that are mentioned will help people gain a deeper understanding of whatever point that particular Bible reference was making. Plus, it's just plain fun to share a love of birds :)

My other hope is that this book will be read by those who love birds, no matter what their religion, which may help others gain an increased respect for the Bible.

Thanks for listening :) A pleasure to meet you. Hope you are well and happy!
 
Glad to have you here Sally16!

When I was smaller my Dad used to read to me from a rather neat book called "Character Sketches" written by Bill Gothard (with his own personal hand-sketched artistry of each animal) , and each chapter focuses on different animals in nature, including birds, and would do a full multi-page "character sketch" (that is rather educational) that would describe each animal's natural in-born behaviors and characteristics that were given to them by God. Then at the end it would have an application section about how we can learn Biblical lessons from observing each animal. It comes in more than one volume but the volume one book can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Character-Sketches-Volume-Institute-Principles/dp/0916888355. Volume three has the majestic Bald Eagle as its cover photo: http://www.amazon.com/Character-Sketches-Volume-Institute-Principles/dp/0916888371/ref=pd_sim_b_2. It is a rather unique series of books unlike any I have ever seen before or since. Just thought I'd mention it since you said you are a nature lover. :)

God Bless,
Josh
