Pasquale R. Mingarelli celebrates God as Creator through photography in his devotional Drawing Near.
Drawing Near features the work of professional photographer Pasquale R. Mingarelli, who pairs photographs of the natural world with God’s Word. This gorgeous devotional offers readers a delightful way to escape the distractions of this world and intentionally meet with God in a secluded place, just as Jesus did (Mark 1:35).
With Drawing Near, believers will dive deep into the context of overlooked Bible verses about nature in order to better understand and know the heart of God. It features Bible passages that address God’s power, His wisdom, His glory, His presence and His love.Mingarelli’s devotional shows readers how to meditate on and apply these verses throughout the “busy-ness” of everyday life.
The beauty of God’s creation is meant to be a testament to who He is and how He desires connection with His people. Drawing Near allows those who love to get out in nature to enjoy the world’s natural beauty anywhere—from the office breakroom to a quiet room at home, to a park bench beneath an outstretched tree.
In a world that demands attention and often pulls people away from God, Drawing Near offers a place of peace and a time with God.
