Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.\nIt was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. \"Took up\" might not be exactly right―as she puts it, \"the switch flipped,\" and she’s been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.\nLooking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By \"looking up\" to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1514007169\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1514007169.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ellis, Courtney|Warren, Kay\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
