"Dotty" Sumner, author and religious columnist "This is one of the most unique and insightful devotional books I have ever read. Nancy Wissinger has presented extremely interesting facts about many kinds of birds, and has wonderfully related them to powerful life lessons we can apply to our everyday spiritual journey. Melding the world of birds to our own spiritual needs truly shows the harmony in God's creation. This is a book filled with truth, practical and useful applications, and is really a lot of fun to read!" -Bill Gallagher, Raleigh, NC Nancy Rose Wissinger, a country girl from Central Illinois, graduated from Illinois State University and is a retired elementary school teacher and a speaker for Stonecroft Ministries.
