A Book to Celebrate God & Nature
If God Were a Great Big Bear is a beautiful book, to celebrate God and his creations, in the form of nature. Ideal for all reader ages, the book revels in the joy of nature, and the One who made it all.
A rhythmic meditation on the nature of God in the world, this book invites you to imagine God creating each element of nature, especially for the benefit of all creatures and plants that He lovingly made:
If God were a mighty whale, she’d make vast, mysterious oceans, wouldn’t she?
If God were a wiggly worm, he’d make fallen leaves and rotting trees and rich earth, wouldn’t he?
God also made several natural scenes for us to appreciate and look after:
- Rushing streams
- Mountains with caves
- Sun to warm flowers
- Red and orange trees
- Seas full of marine friends!
God is in all of Creation, and in you and me. God made a perfectly balanced interconnected world, not just for humans (to drill oil, fish and pollute) but for all animals and plants to thrive in.
