Full Description
Short, accessible meditations and photography to guide you through the season
Author Russ Levenson invites readers to slow down, "toward that stillness that, in a particular way, reveals not only the nature of God but our own nature and God's calling to us." These and other thoughtful insights seem most appropriate during the summer season. Bits of Heaven provides devotional readings that are companions to the sunlight, opportunities for relaxation, and growth that surround us during the summer.
Forty meditations, reflections for contemplation, and prayers fill this volume designed to accompany and encourage readers throughout the season. This thoughtful book is part of a series by this well-known author.
