PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION

Book description “The heavens declare the glory of God . . .” Psalm 19:1a

Towering mountains, crashing waves, and delicate flowers—all shout the glory of the living God. Yet this not-so-subtle declaration of his glory often falls on deaf ears. We enjoy the gift of life and the magnificent world in which we live, but do we celebrate our Maker?

Ric Ergenbright has spent his career capturing photographic images of God’s self-disclosure in creation. These images bear witness to the beauty and power of God, inviting us to reflect on the One who spoke our world into existence. This book weds these images with Scripture to help us think about what we see and to honor the heavenly Artist. In doing so we put feet to the apostle Paul’s admonition: “. . . if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things” (Philippians 4:8b).

These fifty full color photographs capture the radiant light, vibrant color, and rich texture of God’s handiwork. When we consider the beauty of that handiwork, we cannot help but echo that heavenly song, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created” (Rev. 4:11).

SELECTED REVIEWS

You should "THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS", July 12, 2004
Once again, after 'THE ART OF GOD' and 'THE IMAGE OF GOD,' Ric Ergenbright shows his mastery of the art of photography and his dedication to the word of the Bible. You may open any page, from those depicting the rocky coasts of New England and Italy to the far reaches of India and South America, and find inspiration. THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS can be read over and over and never will you arrive at the same thought. Things that are going to last take a long time to build, and Ric Ergenbright has reminded us, with an enchanted eloquence, from whence came the cornerstones.
