These were used as metaphors, similes andanalogies.As Job was being criticized and mocked, the Word states "But now ask thebeasts, and they will teach you, and the birds of the air, and they will tellyou, Or speak to the earth and it will teach you, and the fish of the seas willexplain to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of theLord has done this." (Job 12:7-9 NKJV). God clearly intends for us to have abetter understanding of His Word by using the things we can see and knowin his creation. -- John Allen

Have you ever wanted to be as bright as a firefly, as wise as an owl, or as brave as a lion? With God, all things are possible! There is so much to learn from God's animals, and He has created every one of them to teach us how to become more like Him. In God's Little Creatures: A Children's Daily Devotional with Animal Facts to Help Teach God's Word, author Heather McCulloch explores the special gifts and talents that God gave each animal and how they can help you grow deeper in the Word of God. With fun facts and Bible verses along the way, this easy-to-understand devotional illustrates life lessons and spiritual truth from some of your favorite animals. On this exciting journey through the animal kingdom, you'll discover how Jesus Christ can make you as beautiful as a butterfly and as safe and secure as a wolf in his pack. You'll even find out which animals will teach you what you should not do, like the chameleon, who blends in with the crowd. Come along on an adventure as you learn more about the Bible and meet animals from all over the world, each with amazing traits that reveal the glory of God. Just like all of His little critters, God has created you with a unique design. You are one of His little creatures, and He loves you! Heather McCulloch is a mother of three and an elementary school teacher, and she teaches the Kids 4 Christ group at her church. McCulloch has always dreamed of writing children's books, but she never knew that God would call her to write a devotional soon after the birth of her third child. "This book was truly a work of God," she says. "He just used my hands to write His words. I praise Him and thank Him for pushing me to use the gift He gave me." While writing God's Little Creatures, McCulloch knew that God had called her to use her talents to reach others for His glory. Her children love this devotional book and ask her to read it to them every night.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your beloved pet when he or she dies? Will you ever be able to see him or her again in heaven? Or have you been plagued by the disturbing thought that animals are only here on earth for our enjoyment in this life but when they die, that is it for them, and they are gone forever? This haunted me for decades until I finally got up enough courage to seek out the truth for myself. I went to the word of God to conduct my own research. This book is the result of my quest to find the truth about how God really sees animals and His plan for them. I was astounded by the wealth of information that God shares in the Holy Bible regarding animals. The answers are there, hidden in His word. All anyone needs to do is look.

Here are answers to these questions and more. Susan Bulanda draws on years of professional experience, scientific reading, and theological study to present a biblical view of animals: how they behave, how God uses them to accomplish his purposes, and how they fit into the rest of creation.

A creation devotional for children ages 6-10, which shows detailed, pen and ink illustrations of animals - mammals, insects, birds - paired with a description of each, then an application for the youthful reader. In exploring God’s awesome nature, it is helpful for children to understand God’s design for them. For example, just as the monarch butterfly emerges from a cocoon to soar to heights above the clouds, so too can we all rest in the knowledge that God has made each of us special, and He has great love and a plan for us.
