Stories Told Under The Sycamore Tree examines 52 notable flowers, trees, fruits, and other plants in the Bible. Each lesson includes an informative description based on scientific research and scripture, a reflection on the plant's symbolism, and a prayer, along with superb color illustrations from award-winning nature artist Scott Patton.
These attention-getting, inspiring, and enriching messages are perfect for use with children -- there's a year's worth of fresh material. But they're not just for youngsters; they're also excellent for personal devotions and sermon preparation. Stories Told Under The Sycamore Tree is a visual and meditative feast that will give you a greater appreciation for the wonders of God's creation.
Hahn's insights into various plants mentioned in the Bible will broaden people's understanding of this wonderful world the Lord has created for us to enjoy each and every day.
