Some feedback on A Nature Lover’s Guide to God : Endorsements, reviews and other feedback (Click here to email us your feedback) 'What a delightful book! A Nature Lover's Guide to Seeing God is an invitation to see the wondrous world of God's creation through the complementary lenses of science and faith and to be drawn into the worship of the God glimpsed in the beauty of nature and revealed above all in the person of Jesus Christ. Each stunningly beautiful photograph is accompanied by scientifically-informed observations alongside insightful biblical reflection and prayer. This is a book to savor. Your eyes will be opened afresh to how extraordinary is this earth that we too often take for granted and how extraordinary is our Creator and Redeemer God.' Dr Jonathan Moo (Associate Professor of New Testament and Environmental Studies at Whitworth University, Spokane, Washington. Co-author of a number of books including Creation Care: A Biblical Theology of the Natural World. Zondervan, 2018.) ‘Oh my! How I love this beautiful book!! It's been such a tremendous blessing to me in my journey with the Lord. I too am a lover of nature and spending time abiding in God's presence in nature is my favourite thing to do. Each morning I would read one page and ponder the annoited words, photo and prayer. Each and every time the Lord ministered to my heart in a special way. I am so grateful that you and Bob produced such a book that, I am sure, will profoundly impact its readers everywhere.’ Catherine Rufford ‘For those who appreciate the majesty of nature, whether of any faith or of no faith, a daily time of feasting from Bob & Evelyn’s delicious photographic smorgasbord of mainly Australian flora and fauna, waterscape and landscape will provide food for the soul. This book, comprising photos, science-informed background and 34 Biblical reflections, is a labour of love. Bob & Evelyn’s attention to detail in revealing God’s incredible design in nature, and integrating this with the Bible-based reflections will have life lessons for all of us. I learned, for example, that the grass tree (Reflection 31) can not only survive fires of 1,000 degrees centigrade (1,800 Fahrenheit), after the bushfires they become a precious food source for animals. This illustration can help those of us undergoing trials, or helping others struggling through fiery times, to make sense of the moment and find hope for the future.’ Rev Dr Philip and Dr Diane Marshall ( SIM International) ‘It’s stunning!!! I love the lay out and the reflections and the photography - it’s just beautiful and a clear reflection of the hearts of the authors towards an amazing creation and Creator - highly recommended' Pastor Vicki Cosgrove (Grainery Church - Maitland) Bob and Evelyn's book is a beautiful blend of artistic photography, competent background research and spiritual depth. It is solid food for the soul, spirit and mind. I thoroughly enjoy using this book every day for meditation or just reading a chapter for no particular reason. Stimulating, informative, spiritual. Prof Thomas Nann ( University of Newcastle ‘Beautiful photography, fascinating insights from science, and profound spiritual reflections all interwoven in short readings that inspire us to worship the Creator and take seriously our responsibility to care for creation. Great for all ages.’ David & Carole ‘Through their exceptional photography and profound reflections, the McDonalds expound God's story as illuminated in the Scriptures. We are called to worship and our human interaction with our awesome world is challenged. We are led to the Source, Jesus Christ, the Living Water. The saying by Graeme Garrett comes to mind - "The world is the solid speech of God." This book is so much more than a "Coffee table" book.’ Fran (Adelaide) ' A Nature Lover's Guide to Seeing God ' is an absolute delight; the photography is excellent and the reflections are beautifully written. This project has obviously been a God-honouring labour of love for both of you. As Felicity once said during prayer, we should view God's creation with dancing eyes of delight - and that's just how we viewed this book.’ Ian and Felicity Shepherd From the front cover onwards, this book contains photos that beckon you to explore and interact with more of our amazing planet! I look forward to digesting the backgrounds about each shot, and the devotional reflections which link each example of God’s beautiful handiwork to Biblical concepts over the coming weeks. Mark Wojcik (Newcastle Institute for Energy & Resources, The University of Newcastle) A wonderful resource to help us refocus our eyes on the beauty of God’s creation. The background, reflections and prayers which accompany each photograph are a perfect way to start or finish the day, always turning our hearts back to God in thankfulness'. Lyndie Leviston Myself and my family absolutely love this book. Even our kids love to sit with us, look at the incredible photos and hear about God's creation. I love that we can use this for our family devotional time. I would absolutely recommend this book for people of all ages and stages! Brittany Darvas
