Where Wonder Leads: An Adventure in God’s Wild and Wonderful World

Master naturalist and Nat Theo host Eryn Lynum guides young readers on a wonder-filled journey to explore God’s creation.  

Where Wonder Leads follows the story of Willow, a budding naturalist always ready for the next adventure—forest trails, museums, zoos, and her own backyard. She discovers the wonder in God’s world, from glowing fireflies and hidden mushrooms to dart frogs and a smiling axolotl. Guided by both scientists and Scripture, Willow discovers that creation isn’t just fascinating—it’s full of lessons about forgiveness, joy, and God’s beautiful redemption. 

Lynum blends storytelling, science, and biblical reflection to nurture curiosity about nature. Willow’s story introduces kids to marvelous creatures, plants, and natural phenomena, complete with detailed scientific explanations. Each chapter includes a key scripture and an opportunity to dig deeper into faith and scientific applications. Throughout the story, scientific terms are introduced to grow one’s understanding of God’s intricate designs.  

• Brings the subjects of science and theology to life through engaging storytelling for budding naturalists ages 8-12. 
• Shows the reality and truth of both science and Scripture, presented in a way kids can understand and remember while encouraging them to explore further on their own. 
• Inspires young readers and budding naturalists to enjoy outdoor play and nature study in a way that always points them back to Jesus.
