Beloved by readers when first published in the 1950s and 1960s, the Nature Parables that Nurture the Soul series brings timeless outdoor devotional object lessons to life. Written and illustrated by Harold E. Kohn (1918-1975)—an inspiring writer, artist, poet, pastor, and counselor—each chapter pairs thoughtful spiritual reflections with the author’s original illustrations.

Carefully edited and beautifully restored for today’s readers, these classic works retain their vintage charm, inviting new generations to discover their timeless beauty. You’ll be comforted, encouraged, and filled with hope and purpose as you journey through these meaningful nature-inspired parables.

In addition to the original volumes, new compilations bring together recurring themes, grouping Kohn's thoughtful reflections by animal types (such as birds, fish, and deer) as well as by topics including Christmas, grief, and more.
