Parables by the Sea

Dr. Pamela Reeve is a true schollar of Jesus, she uses her experiences and wisdom to write books. I just loved this book as I did her others. I had the opportunity to meet her, and what a blessing that was. I would recomend this book, it is worth the read.

Though I have had "Parables by the Sea" in my devotional 'book basket' for 9 years, it was during my recent re-reading that the complete message of the book reached my heart and soul. Of course, it was I, not the book, found changed! The unique layered design of the pages, with breataking photos and touching prose, verse, and scripture, touched my heart. I believe this is a book for all seasons of life and one to be kept and revisited through life's stages. Simple,concise, yet deeply moving... especially for sea, beach and nature lovers.

I went to a retreat this weekend near the ocean, and found this beautiful book sitting next to a box made out of shells. I was so touched by this book for its inspirational message because it allowed me going even deeper in thoughts and closer to my soul. Its simplicity and yet depicted language, comparison and rhyme makes this the perfect book to read when you feel lonely and wish to get in touch with your heart. It opens your eyes to see not just what is in front of you but nature within and beyond. Nature, including us, as the greatest creation of God.All ages should give it a try and enjoy this thoughtful and creative writing by Pamela.
