Millions of readers have found revitalization in Phillip Keller's spiritual sensitivity and rare insight, making him one of the most beloved devotional writers of all time. Now, four of his refreshing inspirational works have been combined in one volume, all joined by the common theme of God's wonderful revelation in nature. The straightforward, precise word pictures in As A Tree Grows compares your spiritual growth to the natural growth of a tree. Keller uses thoughtful comparisons - water, light, heat, perils, darkness, rest - to illustrate supernatural truths in the lives of believers. In Still Waters, Keller gently draws you into the peace and restfulness that he found in a simple cabin on the shore of a lake. He invites you to be still and know God, to sense His presence, to commune with Him quietly, without undue haste. In Sea Edge, winner of the Golden Award for Christian Literature, Keller shares the deep reflections and long thoughts of being a solitary man, leaving the footprints of small steps on the ocean edge. Sky Edge will lift your spirits to touch the heavens as Keller describes the magnificent panoramas and breathtaking beauty of the mountains. This is a profoundly inspiring guide for those who long to feel how they and the world around them are touched by His hand.

wonderful imagery of God from nature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Phillip Keller is one of my most favorite authors. This book is one reason why. It takes you out into the world of nature and relates God's Word to us with amazing imagery. I especially loved three sections. One is "Sky Edge" because it spoke of God to me through the mountains that I love so well. From his writing, I could see that Mr. Keller loved them as well. The second section is called "As a Tree Grows". Mr. Keller shows us a Christian's spiritual growth through the giant cedars of Lebanon. I have not been able to think of trees in the same manner after reading this. The other section that is close to my heart is called "Still Waters". I had no trouble putting myself into the scenery that Mr. Keller described with such vivid descriptions. The other section, "Sea Edge" was also written with clear imagery for the reader. I just don't love the sea as much as I do the woods and mountains. I am always able to pick this book up, read it again and still get something new from it. I never have trouble picking this book up for a few minutes. The problem comes when I need to lay it down for a while, I don't want to quit reading it. I would recommend this book to anyone at all!
