Psalm 46:10
New International Version
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;(A)
I will be exalted(B) among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
Do we ever spend the time to really listen? We can learn so much by being still and listening to what is around us. The other day I was walking and I purposely did not put in my earphones. I did not block out the sounds of the area around me. I listened. I could hear the wind blow. I could hear the birds.
This book talks about listening and observing the beauty around us. We so often live our lives in a hurry. We don't enjoy the gifts that GOD gives to us.
Ben Zook was a famous author who wrote about birdwatching. He was so involved in capturing their images. But what did he miss out of when viewing the birds through a lens?
I enjoyed the book as you got to really know the characters that Suzanne Woods Fisher brings to life. Each character had a gift/talent to share with others if they just stopped and took the time to listen.
I am never disappointed when I read one of Ms. Fisher's books. There is always something that I take with me after I finish the book. I need to listen more.
I received this book to review from Celebrate Lit and Revell Reads.

About the Book
Book: A Season on the Wind
Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher
Genre: Amish Fiction
Release date: October 5, 2021
Ben Zook had only two loves in his life: books and birds. In a stroke of good fortune, he’d stumbled onto a way to cobble together those two loves into a career, writing books about rare birds. He was as free as a bird–until a chase for a rare White-winged Tern takes him to the one place on earth he planned to never return: his Amish home in Stoney Ridge.
Desperate for photographs of the elusive tern, Ben hires a local field guide, Micah Weaver, and boards at Micah’s farm, planning to “bag the bird” and leave Stoney Ridge before anyone recognizes him. But he neglected to plan for Micah’s sister, Penny. One long-ago summer, Penny had introduced Ben to birding, even sharing with him a hidden eagle aerie. That eagle became his spark bird–the one that inspired his lifelong love.
Ben. He was Penny’s spark bird. That was when she knew true love. She’d always hoped Ben would come back to Stoney Ridge. Back to his Amish roots. Back to her. The only problem? Ben has absolutely no memory of Penny.
