Sabbath Sunday: That Brilliant Light

Each Sunday I share my own nature photo along with a thought or two about God’s love for you. January in NE Ohio probably isn’t a top tourist destination stop.

God is always speaking . . . even when He doesn’t use words. We live in a post-verbal society that communicates through images–television, smartphones, the Internet–and our Creator longs to communicate with us visually if we’ll live with our eyes wide open. With absorbing insight, Seeing the Voice of God demystifies nighttime dreams and daytime visions, revealing the science…
