In Looking Up! A Birder’s Guide to Hope Through Grief, by pastor and author Courtney Ellis, shares how her grandfather’s unexpected death became an invitation to look up in hope rather than down in despair. She has become a passionate birder and now invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God in both the natural world and our own lives.

Looking Up! is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. By “looking up to the birds,” Courtney found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of darkness into the light and hope of God’s promises.
