Fearfully & Wonderfully Made: Nature Photography, Scriptures, & Reflections

In the following 500 hundred plus pages, you will find forty scriptures and reflections along with my nature photography. Throughout the reflections, I share experiences of my life growing up in East Africa, of culture shock my first year of college, and of living in Asia for six years. I share about the journey of seeing my father, mother, and wife walk through cancer and receive their healing in heaven; about being a single dad; about a time of God's healing in our family; and about God's faithfulness in bringing Faith into our lives. "Danny's long-standing photographic talent is captivating and vivid. The words of Scripture and his personal stories and devotional thoughts are woven seamlessly with the beautiful imagery he has captured. You'll be able to relax with this book as you see God's glory through Danny's lenses and find hope and encouragement through his real-life applications and God's Word. This is a must have e-book. --Johanna Garrison-- "In this first edition of Danny's photography, you will quickly see that this artist knows how to capture intimate God moments and beautifully tell a story. His prose explains the setting for the photo and provides insight into his life experiences, and a glimpse of his soul and character-and more importantly God's. As you drink in the beauty, your spirit will soar like the wings of the Great Blue Heron he often portrays, and you will learn valuable lessons on dealing with both the blessings and burdens of life." -- Dr. Don Detrick "It is a pleasure to endorse this precious work of Danny's. I've known Danny since he was a youth being educated at Rift Valley Academy in Kijabe, Kenya, East Africa. As his former bible teacher I can assure you that Danny has always had a sensitive heart to the creation of the Lord and has clearly seen His hand and the AWE of God in nature. His heart is reflected through the lens of his photography. These are more than pictures, they are an amazing reflection of the Lord through Danny's eyes." --Peg Forrest, Focus Ministries "These aren't just pictures of birds and wildlife; they are glimpses into the grandeur of God as captured by one, who through the stresses and strains of life has acquired a special gift of patience. I encourage you to slow down and absorb every detail of these beautiful pictures. Remember also that every day, we are surrounded by God's beauty in creation. To notice His handiwork is to notice him, for truly, "All of nature declares that He is!" --Dallas Holm--- Excerpts from the book: "I was about two miles from the school when I rounded a corner to see an entire troop of baboons in the road about thirty yards ahead of me. The baboons appeared agitated by my presence. I knew that if I continued to run towards them they would attack me....." "One morning, I was called out of class to receive an international call from America. When I picked up the phone, I could hear my dad's broken voice as he told me that mom had stage three breast cancer and was about to have major surgery. I cried with my dad on the phone for a while as the news slowly sunk in. My family was on the other side of the world, and all of the sudden I felt all alone....." "I remember spending Christmas in the hospital when I was ten years old in Malawi. My parents rushed me to the hospital because I had very high fever. The doctors thought I had cerebral malaria, so they put me on a quinine IV right away. My temperature continued to rise until it was 109 degrees. I went in and out of hallucinations....."
