DIVINE WEATHER,
By Jack McGinnigle
Highland Books. 256 pages. £8.99
ISBN 1 897913 61 3

Have you ever wondered what exactly that cloud was that Elijah's servant saw on Mount Carmel, 'as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea'? Have you tried to imagine how God brought the darkness that shrouded the cross? If so, this book is intended for you.

Divine Weather is a systematic exploration of biblical references to weather-related phenomena, written to give the reader a fresh appreciation of both the physical creation behind those references, and their spiritual meaning. The author identified 388 weather-related passages that form the raw material on which the book is based. These passages are highly varied, including storms and forecasts, similes and metaphors.
