Millions of readers have been transformed and inspired by Francine Rivers’ bestselling novels Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind. Now, in this weekly devotional, the beloved author invites you to join her in seeking the Creator through the marvelous natural world we live in. Francine shares observations she’s gathered over a lifetime of exploring—abroad and in her own backyard—and reflects on how they might apply to your daily life. What do the majestic redwoods, the persistent woodpecker, or a glorious sunrise reveal about our artistic and generous God? How could that change your outlook or the way you handle adversity?
Stunning photography, Scripture excerpts, applications, and prayers accompany Francine’s reflections, inspiring you to be encouraged. Be challenged. Be comforted. God’s power is immense; His attention to detail in precise; His love for you is vast and unfailing. The proof is all around you.
New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers had a successful writing career in the general market for several years before becoming a born-again Christian. As her statement of faith, she wrote Redeeming Love, a retelling of the biblical story of Gomer and Hosea set during the time of the California Gold Rush. Redeeming Love is now considered by many to be a classic work of Christian fiction and it continues to be one of the industry's top-selling titles year after year.
Since Redeeming Love, Francine has published numerous novels with Christian themes—all bestsellers—and she has continued to win both industry acclaim and reader loyalty around the world. Her Christian novels have been awarded or nominated for many honors, and in 1997, after winning her third RITA Award for Inspirational Fiction, Francine was inducted into the Romance Writers of America's Hall of Fame. In 2015, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW).
Francine's novels have been translated into over thirty different languages, and she enjoys bestseller status in many foreign countries.
Francine and her husband live in northern California and enjoy time spent with their grown children and grandchildren. She uses her writing to draw closer to the Lord, and she desires that through her work she might worship and praise Jesus for all He has done and is doing in her life.

MY REVIEW:
This is one of the most beautiful books I've ever seen! It's such an amazing book with gorgeous photographs and beautiful Scriptures and devotions throughout. There are 52 devotions to reflect on each week and bring us into reflection on God's beautiful creation through the photographs.
The book is hard cover with heavy paper inside that make it a pleasure just to hold! The content is so amazing and together it makes for a coffee table quality book. I just couldn't put it down!
At the end of each devotion there is a section for you to reflect on then apply to your life. I loved this because the author gave insights to things that I hadn't really thought of before. It is just such an amazing reflective book. It really brings you closer to your relationship with God and what a wonderful way to start your quiet time! I found this book calmed my heart and my spirit and gave me an added dimension to my time with the Lord.
You'll love this book! It's just a must have for anyone who loves a beautiful devotional and the work of Francine Rivers. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars
