Rarely do we find ourselves reading the same book at our house.But God used "birder" hubby and I who keeps Philippians on many devotional selections each year to join together in reading "Considering Sparrows." "What Birds Teach Us About Who We are, Where We're Going, And the Joy of Following Jesus" clearly spoke to both of us.
We follow the recommendation of the author as we try to read it together outside when possible. Think a on a bench at Deep Creek where our seeing often comes through our ears. Hubby knows Carolina Chickadee one chirps 3 times in a row. If it's raining we can read on the porch!
A blustery day might have us inside but sitting beside our double open windows and watch birds flit from tree to tree. Just the mountains in the background remind us of God's absolute ownership of all creation in Scripture. "I know all the birds of the mountains, and wild beasts of fields are mine." Even Psalm 11:1, NKJV reminds of protection: In the LORD put I my trust: How say ye to my soul, flee as a bird to your mountain?"
We take turns reading and we even mark references in the book in green and red depending on bird info or Scripture verses or Biblical analogy's
CONSIDERING SPARROWS---I give a 5**** review on the parts We have read sp far!
