About
Author Jules Middleton has always been an outdoorsy type, from climbing mountains with her dad as a child, to walking her dog on the South Downs; from paddleboarding on the ocean to making compost in her garden, she always knew there was something special about being outdoors, but she didn’t really equate any of that to connecting with God.
Challenged by this she spent a year asking God ‘what is your creation saying today?’ and was surprised at quite how easily she heard from God through nature around her. The reflections in this book aim to help others seek and hear from God in the natural world.
There is a long history of saints who have found a Christian connection through nature, but in more recent years some parts of the church have had a suspicion of anything too nature focused. Jules seeks to re-engage with this rich tradition, for the contemporary age.
The book features 52 reflections, each was written prayerfully in nature, recounting ways Jules has felt God revealing things through creation, and each one connects to scripture. Each one has a suggestion for how the reader might try to engage with God in different ways in the natural world, using all our senses. And finally, each reflection finishes with a prayer to ground the reader firmly in Christianity, as well as God’s creation.
