The Bible is the only revelation of God’s true will and nature. In my opinion, every Christian has to read it thoroughly to become wiser, better and righteous. It’s the heartwarming messages we want to hear, the understanding of who God is and how He wants us to live our lives filled with love, freedom and faith. It’s the words that embrace us and make us feel safe, it’s the personal journey you go through while reading it and the fascinating stories of Jesus’s kindness and sincere love for the human mind. The Bible is all of this and so much more. God made sure that we will “rightly handle the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) and if we understand how to read the Bible, we will be on the right path to do that.

Even though “the book of all books” seems a bit forgotten by the modern society, many Christians throughout the world still see it as the most important tool in learning the truth about life.

Ever since the beginnings of humanity, there has always been that wish to be connected to the spiritual leader that could serve as both the example, teaching people how to choose right from wrong, and be the comfort in times of trouble. How many times have you found yourself in dire straits only to find out a prayer can not only offer you the sense of relief but can also be the solution to your problems? While we cannot explain the ways of God’s work, we see the prayer leads us to a positive thought and makes us feel we are closer to God, resulting in the desired answer with time.

When we try to feel that connection and understand more about the core of our belief, we need not look further than the book of books, the holy Bible. Just the thought that it served as the daily companion to people for centuries can give us a warming feeling, and the deepening of that connectedness.

Birds of the Bible is a truly fascinating and unique book, the main theme of which are the bird species mentioned in the Bible. If you are a birdwatcher, then reading the Birds of the Bible will be like combining two passions in one. When you conjure two dimensions together (the spiritual and natural one) – it can bring a new light in your life. Below we will go over the most enlightening chapters of the Birds of The Bible book in effort to create an inspiring and vivid atmosphere for you as a reader.

In the first chapter, the author speaks about the location and conditions of the birds. Afterwards, he answers various questions regarding how birds were created, their origin goes, their fossils and biblical names. Another amazing thing is the fact that Peter Goodfellow uses the birds’ names in both English and Hebrew. His purpose is to pass on the knowledge on clean and unclean birds and go through all bird families mentioned in the Bible.

In the next chapter, he speaks of the migration of clean birds and the connection between them and the Jesus Christ. He gathered information from the common beliefs of the 18th century which pass on the information that the birds migrated to Egypt before returning back to Israel. Some pieces of the book are written in great details, whereas some are not – which is in a fact is a genius move by Peter since he decided to go in depth only regarding the most important birds that have the strongest symbolical meaning.

In the chapter about eagles and vultures (which are also mentioned in the Bible) the author makes a parallel between these animals and different aspects of humanity that are relevant even today. Sacrifice is also another subject that is mentioned a couple of times in the book because birds were a huge part of many ancient rituals.

Birds are a crucial part of the bible, and Peter explores this further in his book. He touches upon their storytelling role and how it all connects with the major bible characters. The book abounds in incredible illustrations that furthermore add to the completion of the puzzle.

Birds Of The Bible book is a must-read for anyone who wants to nurture their faith in Christ and their passion for birds at the same time.
