What can a garden snake show us about staying safe? How can skunk cabbage remind us to look before we leap? Can a tree stump tell us something about family? What helpful messages might nature have for us if we could learn how to decipher them? This engaging, interactive book calls attention to some of the most common elements of nature and shows how they can provide insight and inspiration to a child. With dozens of examples, naturalist Pamela Baxter invites you to use all your senses to notice little details of ordinary things—like trees, birds, insects, and clouds—that can be seen right outside your home, no matter where you live. Pam takes these observations one step further and reveals big life lessons that can be found in nature’s little secrets. Things like how to: be yourself; do your best; and make good choices. Each journal entry is followed by a series of questions, inviting personal observations that make the book your own. Explore along with Pam and see what little secrets—and big life lessons—you can find! Note: This book is written for children ages 8 to 10, but is also perfect for younger children to explore with their parents.

Just imagine if you could actually see the Holy Spirit. What would it be like when you invite him into your heart if your heart was really a house? And what if you and he could go from room to room, exploring everything in your life, each room representing something different about you: your work, your hobbies, what you do to relax, your thoughts, and everything else that makes you who you are. How would you like going on adventures and traveling to places you’ve only dreamed about accompanied by Jesus and all within the vastness of your own heart? Think how exciting it would be to talk to people who are in the Bible, like Moses, or wouldn’t you enjoy going fishing with Peter? And how would you like to learn lessons from his word by passing unusual tests, some fun, some not so fun. This is a story about a young man named Josh who experiences all of those things and more. It explores the possibility of giving Jesus endless room to show us who he really is, God Almighty who created everything, our best friend and Savior who loves us dearly and wants to be a part of every “room” in our heart.
