by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
I first saw this compact coffee table book while at a friend’s house for Bible Study. I was delighted with it, and was grateful soon after to be able to purchase one for the OLRC. The book opens to a new page for each day of the year. Each page shows an aerial photograph and text explaining where it came from. The photos are arresting, engrossing and challenging. Beautiful scenes of coastlines or geographical formations invite you to praise God for His creation. Pictures of sprawling slums or urban congestion lead to other types of prayers.
We currently have this book open on the circulation desk and I for one check it every day. I suspect many coffee table books look nice but are rarely opened. This is a book to savour every day of the year, and could lead a family to interesting reflections and discussions. I purchased mine from a remainders shop, but this book and other similar books from the publisher are certainly available from www.bookdepository.co.uk who currently offer international postage free.
