Gathering (Galloway)

It is easy to call God the Creator of heaven and earth. Why then is it hard to call Him creative? From Moses' tabernacle to the temples in Jerusalem, God demonstrated a passion for artistic beauty as well as purpose. Moreover, He desired to have mankind join Him in the creation process. This book explores those interactions and discusses how God gifted, empowered, and worked with artists throughout the Bible. From musicians to writers to prophets-turned-actors, God partnered with artisans to create works of art that were a shadow of things to come. For modern artists that incorporate faith into their work, this book will be an encouragement.

There are over one million known species of insects in the world. They exist on every continent and have even been taken into space. Despite their diminutive size, God has used them to serve several mighty purposes. From the plagues of Exodus to the Israelites' entry into the Promised Land, insects have played a pivotal role in the course of the Biblical events. God has also used insects as a means of judgment and to make a point: that He is sovereign over even the tiniest of creatures. He has also given them wisdom that continues to inspire and mystify. When the End Times arrive, these miniature wonders will rise to prominence again.

Or has God simply left us to our own devices?The Bible contains hundreds of verses that refer to the weather and who is in control of it. Scripture is filled with examples of how God has used weather both as a warning and as a blessing. It also contains examples of how weather has been used in times of battle and even as a means of judgment.Building on examples from the past, present, and future, this book addresses weather and climate from a Biblical perspective. It also asks the question: where is God when disaster hits?
