Earth Shall Teach Thee, The: The Lifework of an Amateur Artist
Boyd K. Packer
President Packer has had a lifelong love of
nature and art. He has developed a deep appreciation for the beauties of
nature and an understanding of the laws that govern the natural world.
Animals, especially birds, have been the primary theme of his artwork.
The whole collection consists of nearly 600 original carvings,
paintings, sketches, and drawing, many of which illustrate this book.
His
artistic passion has become entwined with his love of the gospel of
Jesus Christ. Through the years, he has often used his art to illustrate
gospel principles. One of his key teachings is that there is agreement
and harmony between natural and spiritual laws and that nature bears
witness of the divine creation.
The companion DVD features
President and Sister Packer describing the artwork and telling some of
life's lessons learned along the way. Originally recorded as a keepsake
for their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, it now
becomes a treasure for admirers of his work. While the photographs in
this book provide a beautiful view of his artwork, the video recording
shows the amazing precision and intricate detail.
