Description
Considering Birds and Lilies: Finding Peace and Harmony with the Everyday World Around Us explores the connection between time in nature and the Christian faith. Cynthia Coe examines how spirituality in nature is expressed in both the Old and New Testaments, as well as by Jesus and early Christians.
The book delves into various aspects of spirituality in nature, including the role of wilderness in preparation for leadership and new mission, and the use of nature to teach important spiritual concepts. Coe also introduces readers to a series of Garden Meditations that encourage individuals to practice Lectio Natura, seeing parables in the natural world around them.
This thoughtful book offers an introduction to nature-based practices of spirituality, making it an excellent resource for Christian formation by groups or individuals. Each chapter concludes with questions for reflection, journaling, or small group discussion, providing a space for readers to engage deeply with the material.
