The Eye of a Naturalist. The Heart of a Pastor.
Harold E. Kohn had a gift for seeing meaning in things others might pass by. Birds, wildlife, plants, weather, water, woods, and the turning seasons became starting points for reflections on faith, purpose, perseverance, suffering, and hope.
In Peace from Psalm 23, those observations are woven through the familiar words of the Shepherd’s Psalm. Kohn considers what it means to have a shepherd, to rest beside still waters, to walk through dark valleys, to receive comfort, and to live with the assurance of God’s presence and care.
This is a meaningful Christian gift for anyone walking through grief, hardship, uncertainty, or change—as well as readers who treasure Psalm 23, nature, and thoughtful reflections on faith.
