Product Description
Many indigenous cultures recognise a deep connection between people and their land—a heart-weaving of inhabitants and history that lies, sleeping restlessly, within the landscape itself. Western society, with its strongly embedded belief in scientific rationalism, resists this idea. So what does Scripture have to say on this contested topic? Like Wildflowers, Suddenly examines three localities in Scripture where Jesus tailored His actions in specific ways to heal the land as well as the people. Like blooms springing up after rain, His work of historical restoration is grace-laced and delicate but also quietly unassuming. His blessings of the earth are easily overlooked.
