But Jesus gave a simple command--\u003ci\u003econsider the birds\u003c\/i\u003e. Pastor and birder Kevin Burrell takes that call literally, weaving together the beauty of creation, the depth of Scripture, and stunning illustrations from artist Aedan Peterson in a way that is insightful and delightfully unexpected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the Arctic Tern's relentless migration to the Satin Bowerbird's obsessive collection of blue trinkets, Kevin shows us why these feathered creatures illustrate timeless truths found in Philippians. A Western Scrub Jay's funeral echoes Paul's perspective on life and death. An albatross's lifelong commitment mirrors the call to steadfast faith. Even the sparrow--once deemed a pest--reminds us why anxiety has no place in the kingdom of God. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is more than ornithology. It's more than theology. It's an invitation to slow down, look up, and rediscover the Gospel written in the wings of creation. With wry humor, fascinating science, and rich biblical insight, \u003ci\u003eConsidering Sparrows\u003c\/i\u003e transforms both how we see birds--and how we see God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Burrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Multnomah Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.03h x 5.42w x 0.95d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217152261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Burrell\u003c\/b\u003e is the co-lead Pastor of StoneBridge Church Community in Charlotte, North Carolina.
