Again and again and again, page after page after page after page, the Lord has chosen to share His thoughts with us using geography. Here it is by way of review one more time. We’ll find it on every page when we broaden our definition of geography to include physical geography (which again are the natural features on the surface of the earth and the natural forces that affect them), human geography (the ways in which human beings interact with and respond to geography), and natural history (the plants, the trees, the insects, and the animals that inhabit a region).

– John Beck, PhD
