Synopsis

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.

Review

Joy DeKok has spent a lifetime worshipping God and watching birds. In this little book she combines the two into a delightful devotional. Each entry features an experience which the author has had with a particular kind of bird and what she has learned about God from that experience. There are also Scripture verses and tips on taking care of wild birds at the end of each section. This is a lovely book for birders, birdwatchers, and all who enjoy God's creation. --Karen Potts

Simply delightful. A series of short essays, mostly personal anecdotes, in which the authors share their experiences of watching birds and drawing spiritual lessons from doing so. Each essay is followed by some practical advice for fellow birdwatchers....Down-to-earth and heartwarming. --Nina M. Osier
