The world is loud, life moves fast, and wonder keeps slipping through the cracks, yet Jesus gave a deceptively simple instruction: consider the birds. Pastor and lifelong birder Ke vin Burrell takes that call literally, guiding readers on a one-of-a-kind journey through the book of Philippians by way of the natural world. From the Arctic Tern's epic migration to the Satin Bowerbird's hoard of blue treasures, from a scrub jay's mourning to an albatross's lifelong devotion, Burrell shows how the lives of birds illuminate timeless truths about identity, anxiety, faith, and joy, paired with an introduction by Joni Eareckson Tada and luminous illustrations by Aedan Peterson. More than ornithology and more than theology, Considering Sparrows is an invitation to slow down, look up, and rediscover the gospel written in the wings of creation. Written by a co-lead pastor in Charlotte, North Carolina, it is a warm, wonder-filled read for anyone seeking stillness and meaning. Available now at Spindle & Spine Bookstore. Show more
