This week the blog and giveaway have been sponsored by P&R Publishing. Calvin, Spurgeon, and Luther appear alongside Wordsworth, Twain, and Emerson in a vibrant celebration of God’s creation. Ryken joins great works of poetry, hymnody, prose, and art with accessible literary analysis. “John Calvin referred to nature as the theater of God’s glory. Dr. Ryken’s superb anthology offers us a front-row seat to take in nature’s artistry, beauty, and awe. Here we meet poets and pastors, hymn-writers and philosophers, all giving us better eyes to see and better ears to hear God’s glorious revelation in nature.” —Stephen J. Nichols, President, Reformation Bible College; Chief Academic Officer, Ligonier Ministries ENTER GIVEAWAY HERE P&R is giving away FIVE 3-volume sets of A Treasury of Nature, A Treasury of Thanksgiving, and A Poetry of Redemption.
