Lessons from Nature

For the first time I am recommending a book I have not read yet. My mom is currently reading Lessons from Nature and the Spirit's Revelation of the Things concerning Christ, a collection of articles by Sister Alice Hopkins, every night and shares bits and pieces with me. It's amazing how many lessons we can draw from the natural world to apply to the spiritual. Sister Alice Hopkins has a knack for making the reader feel as though she is speaking directly to them in person. G.E. Mansfield states in the forward, "We hope it will provide many enjoyable hours of delightful and meditative reading. Since each chapter is complete in itself, the reader can select any one and enjoy a fifteen minute contemplative reading. Not only will this provide an outline of the beauties of the divine handiwork, but draw the mind to reflect upon the spiritual principles therein" (p. 6). Well said! I plan to read this, Lord willing, this year.
