Courtney Ellis’s newest book, Looking Up: A Birder’s Guide to Hope Through Grief is beautiful. Not only is it beautifully written, but it is also beautiful in how she handles all our hurting hearts. Courtney weaves together for us the story of her own personal pain, her insight into different birds, and her belief in how God shows us His presence through the things he has created in nature. In the twisted fibers of those things, we too find hope.
