Wow, what a blessing to read. This book really touched my soul, and from reading it, I found the peace of God through listening to the birds sing. I will never look at the trees blowing the same. This peace came during a time of brokenness and confusion. Thanks for sharing this revelation with the world.

Amazing! Your writing shows that you walk with the Lord. Everybody doesn’t have that. I can see using your book as a devotional. A truly demonstration of God’s Excellence! God expresses Himself in everything good and definitely through your writings.

I have been calmed down so much by your book. I’m being healed. I cried three times. This book is alive!

Your book has the potential to be used in many different ways by Christians and non-Christians alike. Your book can have an impact on different behaviors, different attitudes. You have a wider audience than you think! I recommend it to myself. I recommend it to others! Very nice book. You have a book that will do real good.

Your book is beautiful! I couldn’t put it down! I started reading it one night, fell asleep, then woke back up and finished it! It took me back to memories of when I was growing up (in Mississippi). It touched on things that happened in my life and your life, too!

You really are a gifted and inspired writer. I can see God’s anointing on the words expressed in your work. I am drawn to read the book just by the pictures you paint with words. I’m sure others’ appetites will yearn for more and more as they taste of the richness of our majestic Lord and Savior.

This book makes not only for good reading, but it also teaches the individual reading it. For me . . . it touched home--each page offered something meaningful to me. Something I had gone through and am presently going through. It offered solutions. What a concept . . . to observe God’s creations and apply them to our lives.

Vera, I am enjoying your book immensely! It is awesome! The Lord is truly blessing you! You have a wisdom beyond--just beyond--I don’t know . . . it is way out there! The Lord has truly, truly blessed you in your writing. It is so beautiful! God bless you.

You need to buy sister Vera’s book! If you haven’t gotten it, you need to get it! That book has me looking at a blade of grass!

One may see creation on the pages of your book, but God is really speaking to man about himself.

I have had the chance to read several chapters of your book, and it is quite well written. I really enjoy the personal touches--your insights into the poetry that you were writing. Clearly, you are a vessel through which the work and words arrive--it is a gift. I really enjoyed the poem “Along the Back Road” (not sure of the title right now), and believe it or not, I think of that little cabin nestled there as “me.” What a discovery that was, what insightful writing, what universal truths it speaks. It is so refreshing to hear your words about how God has given us a perfect natural surrounding to remind us of His grace. From time to time, I find reading it to be a real pleasure because of the work and the insight you put into it. It is like it is talking to me personally.

This book has reconnected me with the innocence of youth. While reading this book, I reflected back to the days when my children were ages 3-7 and how they were amazed by the wonder, beauty, and mystery of God’s creation. They picked weeds that had blossomed and were proud to give them to me as if they were giving me the greatest gift in the world. They would spend countless moments holding, touching, and taking care of a rolley polley bug. Vera, your book has helped me recapture those now precious memories because now I can plainly see that by admiring creation, my eyes can audibly convey to my heart God’s love for me. I am convinced, more than ever, that God appointed the splendor of His Creation to reveal His love for all of humankind. It used to be when I would wake up on Saturday mornings. The birds singing would get on my nerves! But now--I wake up and listen to them, and they sound beautiful! (After reading your book) You even got me looking at the ant on a sidewalk! Psalms 104-13 says The earth is satisfied with the fruit of his works. Thanks to this book, I can say my soul is more satisfied. My heart now sings praise to God when I take the time to notice God’s Glory in His Creation. Vera, thanks for sharing your journey with me.

It is a lovely book and very nicely written. Your observances and commentary is right on . . . .

Vera, I love your book! Have read about half of it and showed it to the ladies at my Wednesday night Bible study. You have a wonderful style, I feel like I am right there walking with you.

To my sister, Vera. I thank God for His anointing words of His Spirit to give you the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of His creation for His glory. It has brought many beautiful memories alive in my heart. So just continue to work in the Spirit of the Holy Spirit. After reading further, I truly realized how inspiring, how encouraging--so uplifting your words from the Holy Spirit are to my life and for others. Thank you, Lord. So much insight of God--His beauty and our lives. So continue on. I am counting my blessings and cherishing your book. I love you.

I had prepared my Sunday’s message, but after reading your book, it changed my message.

You want to get people to understand how important it is to get acquainted with God in nature--that’s the bottom line, isn’t it? And to realize how awesome He is. Your book is provoking me to go back to what I used to do. It reminds me about fishing. I’ve allowed myself to get caught up. I even got a boat out there in my driveway. Your book was a reminder that I need some of that--that’s therapy! Go and spend some time admiring the God of creation! We have to force ourselves to take the time to get alone with God and spend some quiet time because there is healing in nature. Nature is what gives you peace, peace in your soul. That’s how people get their peace. Your book makes you think about that’s what you do to get peace.

You won’t be the same after reading this book! My thinking has been transformed; I appreciate the grandeur of God through nature like never before. This book is awesome! Vera Smith shares with us that creation really does declare God’s glory and how we can have intimate fellowship with Him through creation. I would give it five stars.

I was just searching for this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googling, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is Google's problem that doesn't rank this type of informative website closer to the top. Normally the top web sites are full of garbage.

It is nice to have such powerful words written by a home girl. I hope you are doing well; no, I know you are doing well.

God has allowed His glory to shine through you. We are indeed honoring Him for the works of your hands. I pray He continues to use you even us as a team to spread the glorious news that alter lives of the chosen who remain in Jesus and for those who go about doing good unrewarded yet doing the principles of the Holy Book. Thanks for the books and your gifts I pray be made manifest in His time. You have spoken some wonderful truths into my spirit man. For this I am also grateful. Thank you and congratulations on this new venture into grander territory. Humbly all the way, we are to arise to the kingdom. Let's possess the land. Victory is ours. May God richly bless you according to His will, Vera. You make the world better. To your family--thanks for sharing God's angel with me, my wife and family, and this planet earth's called to purchase and support her projects.
