Heaven and Nature Sing: 25 Advent Reflections to Bring Joy to the World by Nathan Anderson, Hannah Anderson
5 Stars. No question. This is a great book.
I didn’t grow up really observing advent, but the active anticipation has become one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season.
After David Mathis' 2020 publication of The Christmas We Didn't Expect, the bar was set high. My 2021 backup selection didn’t live up to it, so I was on the fence about Heaven and Nature Sing. I was hearing great things, but … I wasn’t too sure about this whole nature-based devotional thing. I wasn't sure if it would be too fluffy.
My concerns were absolutely unfounded.
I have been absolutely delighted with this volume. The gentle, welcoming observations give way to invitation to consider the Christmas story from a fresh perspective. This is a beautiful book that draws me in deeper and stirs my affection for Christ in new ways. I would gladly gift this book to others or enthusiastically recommend it for the next Advent season.
