Bible + Science Studies
Life with kids is messy. By far, our favorite kind of mess is literary clutter. Walk into our home and you'll find books piled about with worn edges from constant use. Reading brings us together then sends us out into the world inspired. Books also play an integral role in my writing. Below are some of our favorites, each highly recommended.

Reforesting Faith: What Trees Teach Us About the Nature of God and His Love for Us
There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. The Bible’s wisdom is referred to as a tree of life. Every major biblical character and every major theological event has a tree marking the spot. This book as an easy and engaging read, I couldn't put it down.
