This book helped me see the book of Job and the Psalms in ways I never had before. Again and again, it shows how God lets creation speak—a reminder that even the winds and the waves obey Him. Since reading this book, alongside the Psalms and a poem by Mary Oliver where she writes, “love for the earth and love for you are having such a long conversation in my heart,” I haven’t viewed the world around me through the same lens.
