Description
"Joy to the world--the Lord has come!"
We sing these words every year, but what does it mean that the Creator came to his creation as a baby? How exactly does the "earth receive her King?" What does it sound like when rocks, hills, floods, and plains echo his praise? And what would it mean for you to join in the chorus?
Heaven and Nature Sing invites you into a fresh reading of the Christmas story--one where earthy, overlooked things like snowflakes, trees, serpents, bodies, and swaddling bands reveal the glory of the Promised Son. Journeying from the first pages of Scripture to the last, you'll experience the goodness of our Creator King and learn how the whole earth sings his praise.
So this Advent season, join Hannah Anderson as she guides you through 25 meditations on the natural elements of the Christmas story. Accompanied by Nathan Anderson's distinctive artwork, the entries gradually move you from hope to faith to joy to peace. Find your soul renewed and your heart restored, and discover once again why heaven and nature sing.

Reviews
-Andrew Wilson, author and teaching pastor at King's Church London
"In the same way that creation immerses us in rhythms of work and rest, silence and sound, living and dying, so this beautifully written and lovingly illustrated book invites us into the rhythms of Advent in order to discover the good news of the Creator God who takes on flesh in order to restore all flesh, so that we might be agents of renewal in a world full of fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains that summons us to the fulsome praise of the God who is With Us. This book is Isaac Watts meets Annie Dillard--and one that you will love reading year after year."
