Celebrating The Wonder of Water (Discovery Series Booklet)

Water becomes the bookends of the Bible.  It appears in the beginning as the source and substance of all temporal life, and it appears again at the end as the great symbol for eternal life.

Science labelsthe stuff H₂O.  It's so common we hardly pay attention to it—until it loses its balance: raging floods, searing drought, stifling humidity, paralyzing blizzards.  Reflecting the light of a setting sun or flowing gently through a mountain meadow, water gives us great delight.  Seldom, however, do we consider the unseen properties of water that makes it the one thing that gives the earth its uniqueness among all other planets in our solar system—and even the newly discovered planets farther out in space.  In this booklet, Dean Ohlman urges us to contemplate at a far deeper level the significance of water to the human body—and to the soul.
