Earth Psalms

Earth Psalms: Reflections on How God Speaks Through Nature
By: Francine Rivers

It’s a beautiful book. The design is well done- very vibrant and colorful and full of beautiful pictures of nature.

This is a 52 week devotional- one devotion per week. It’s called Earth Psalms so I started it at the same time as I started Tim Keller’s Psalms Devotional thinking they would pair well together. But I didn’t do my research. Rivers’ book is not solely based in the Psalms. She picks Scripture from the whole Bible to go along with something she sees in nature that pertains to biblical principles. And not realizing it was 52 weeks and Keller’s is daily, it didn’t make the best duo.

I would probably read this again but try to do it as it was designed and spend more time reflecting on one devotion weekly. She provides good questions and reflections at the end of each devotion as well as a short prayer. Some of the devotions are pretty surface level as most devotionals are, but the questions are relevant and the information is theologically sound. I still found many of the devotions to be valuable and what I needed to hear that day. God still speaks through pretty devotional books with pretty pictures.
