Arranged With Love by Tracy Smoak Book Review

Smoak's second devotional is another combination of beautiful photos and encouraging devotions. Each of the thirty devotions highlights an aspect of God's love, attributes shown through creation. She includes an inspirational Scripture passage and a thoughtful prayer for each day.

Smoak focuses on plants, from the magnificent redwoods to fragile wildflowers. She includes natural scenes and ones arranged by humans, making the title appropriate on both the divine and human level. She shows how human arrangements are revealing divine characteristics. A beautifully landscaped garden reflects the ultimate plan and care of God. A meticulous arrangement of flowers foreshadows the elegance of heaven.

I like how Smoak has developed spiritual insights about God's love from creation. Her spiritual lessons from plants are an inspiration to view God's creation with renewed wonder. This book would make a good gift for anyone interested in gardening.
