This book presents one hundred reflections on the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The seasons of the year bring change to people. Winter heating gives way to spring and summer air conditioning. The new life of spring--trees leafing, bulbs blooming, grass growing--brought about by rain turns into summer maintenance. Summer maintenance diminishes as the autumn chill begins to spread across the land, and T-shirts and shorts are exchanged for sweaters and jeans. Coats are brought out of the closet and prepared to be worn as frost forms on the lawn, snow falls from the sky, and ice forms on water. The changes that take place outside of us also take place inside us. Without noticing, we discover ourselves adapting as we pass from one season to another. All the reflections provided in this book begin with biblical passages that mention each specific season or some event that occurs as part of the season. The passage is followed by a reflection, a Psalm response, questions for meditation and/or journaling, and prayers designed to nourish one's spirituality. The yearly process of passing from one season to another brings about transformation in us of which we may not be aware.

Praise for Seasons of Biblical Spirituality

“With his usual blend of inspiration and scholarship, Mark Boyer’s latest book guides the reader in spiritual reflection by once again nourishing the soul through nature. A spiritual journey often mirrors the cyclical procession of the seasons through the year, vacillating between light and dark, work and rest, abundance and scarcity. You will find yourself anticipating the next reflection just as you anticipate the next winter storm or summer bloom.”

—John Kossler, ecologist, Western Meridian Resources
