I really am not sure what to say about this book. I guess I would recommend, but only tentatively. I think it would be fun to use this book in a 3rd/4th grade classroom setting. The author does an amazing job of finding God in his Creation. I also think the activities that she suggests would be so fun. But I wonder if she approaches conservation and man's stewardship of creation in the right way. I would not want kids to get the idea that they are the problem when reading this book or that humans are destroying the world. I think this can be a very polarizing idea. So, I would never just hand a kid this book and allow them to read it on their own. However, if used correctly, the book could be a great conversation starter.
Random extras:
page 84. the author mentions divorce. She also always writes "parents or guardian." Why did she feel the need to include these things in a kids book?
Page 102. this is a slightly confusing description of confession.

Jessica Doebler uses nature and naturally occurring events to explain the things of God. From the first devotional where she compares how heliotropic plants follow the path of the sun to how we, as Christians, should follow the Son; I was drawn in and I think young readers will be as well.
I appreciate the activities (Go Explore) that are suggested with each devotional. Some encourage children to get out in nature and others are like mini science experiments.
Because this is a devotional book I wouldn’t necessarily recommend God Is In Nature! for a K-12 Christian school library. However, it would be a good choice for a classroom teacher to use as a devotional or for an individual child to use.
I received a complimentary copy of God It In Nature! This is my honest review.
