Intriguing and Fascinating Analogy for Life

There were so many interesting things that I never thought of before about Nature and how they apply to life. I was intrigued by each chapter and I was able to see how I was showing up in these areas within my own life. I enjoyed this book and the stories shared within it. Thanks.

Every Young Person Should Read This Book!

This book changed the way I looked at the World around me. There are fourteen character lessons that can be learned by observing nature. I learned that God reaveals Himself through nature as stated in Romans 1:20. It's hard for me to narrow my favorite chapter but Horses Like to Run comes to mind. I learned the value of exercise in leading a healthy and active life. The story is told from a modern-day Huck Finn spin with the Bible incorporated. This book serves ages ten through adults, but could be read to a younger child for character development.

Great Christian Book!!

I am home schooled and I love this book. It made me look at nature differently and how God wants us to learn from his creation. I think everybody could benefit from this book because the world more than ever before certainly needs character training. My favorite chapter was Family Life of the Honey Bees. That chapter taught me the importance of working together as a family for the benefit of the whole. My second favorite chapter was Dogs and Loyalty. I discovered the role loyalty has in relationships with others. I highly recommend this book for both teenagers and adults.
