If we do not see the connections between Scripture and the signs that God has left for us, then we are missing out on a huge part of our spiritual lives. However, there are many exciting and awe-inspiring things out there just waiting for you to discover them. I will show you many of them and soon you can grow closer to God in a whole new way! I invite you to read this book where you will find scriptures and reflections on God&rsquo;s creation. Writing on this topic was life-changing for the way that I see God and I know that reading it will do the same for you. This series of meditations can be used in many ways, such as a daily time with God on the topic of his creation, as lesson ideas for an outdoor devotional or chapel service or even just casual reading. This book is perfect for: <\/p>\n<ul>\n  <li> Youth ministers <\/li>\n  <li> Scoutmasters <\/li>\n  <li> Outdoor devotionals <\/li>\n  <li> Family lessons <\/li>\n  <li> Anyone who enjoys God&rsquo;s creation <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<center>\n  <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"515\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/andrew_elliott_book_jCPFa8SLQnizjrtBu9zI-515x783-1.png?resize=515%2C783&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/andrew_elliott_book_jCPFa8SLQnizjrtBu9zI-515x783-1.png 515w, https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/andrew_elliott_book_jCPFa8SLQnizjrtBu9zI-515x783-1-197x300.png 197w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\">\n<\/center>\n<p><\/p>\n<p> Minister Benjamin Weatherston of the Detroit Church of Christ, said: &#8220;<i>Scriptures About Creation<\/i> is a great guide to see God through the things he has made.
