And they were willing to share their secret with me. http://internetevangelismday.com/bookreviews/the-seven-basic-plots.php 2010-08-07T15:47:02-05:00 Readers of Middlemarch by George Eliot may recall the dry old scholar Rev Casaubon’s failed attempt to create a unifying ‘Key to all Mythologies’. (You may have briefly felt in passing, that Casaubon’s plan was irrelevant and futile.) But Booker has succeeded in doing this and much more – a quite remarkable analysis of the nature of story, in a project which took him 34 years. But do not be misled into thinking that this is a sterile academic book – it is highly readable! And for its 700 pages, remarkably cheap. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2019:1&version=KJV 2009-10-01T21:41:06-05:00 The Bible teaches that nature itself testifies to God's greatness. Look around you at the wonders of the natural world--all of it is God's handiwork. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%2012:7-8&version=KJV 2009-09-11T09:13:02-05:00 It is a theme throughout the Bible that nature itself testifies to God's power and majesty. When we find ourselves questioning God's power, we're encouraged to look at the animals and natural world around us as evidence. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201:29&version=KJV 2009-09-04T08:47:02-05:00 The vegetation of the world was given to be food for man. Here, God presents His creation to the newly created Adam and Eve, giving them charge over it and responsibility for it. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:44-45&version=NIV 2009-09-03T17:30:49-05:00 Nature, natural disaster, and the weather don't discriminate between good and bad people. It's our task as Christians to reach out to those who need to hear of God's grace. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2019:1&version=NIV 2009-09-03T13:54:38-05:00 If God's words and actions didn't already sufficiently point to His glory and power, nature certainly does. The sheer majesty of the earth and the universe reflect and declare their Creator's sovereignty. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20148:7-10&version=NIV 2009-08-07T11:28:54-05:00 All nature proclaims God's glory, from the birds of the sky to the fishes of the ocean. This psalm calls on all of creation to praise God. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%2012:7-10&version=NIV 2009-07-24T10:38:26-05:00 It is a theme throughout the Bible that nature itself testifies to God's glory. Here, Job is challenged to look to nature to see God's power and authority reflected and acknowledged there.
