Overview

In The Birds Our Teachers, renowned preacher and author John Stott combines his lifelong passion for bird-watching with profound biblical insights. Drawing on Jesus' exhortation in the Sermon on the Mount to "Behold the fowls of the air" (Matt. 6:26 KJV), Stott explores biblical lessons that can be learned from the natural world. With his binoculars and camera in hand, he reflects on faith, repentance, freedom, joy, and more, drawing from the behavior of birds such as ravens, storks, eagles, and larks. This book, richly illustrated with over 150 full-color photographs taken by Stott during his travels, serves as a unique and thoughtful meditation on the intersection of nature and Scripture. Stott humorously refers to his work as "an introduction to the science of orni-theology," blending bird-watching with spiritual truths in an accessible and captivating manner.
