No, but you can study it every day and night, free of charge. See Psalm 19:1-6

The "book" of nature has been called the book of God's works.
Another way to study it is via science.
Early scientists thought of their research as thinking God's thoughts after him, revealing how God does what he does.

 

[Radagast]

No, but you can study it every day and night, free of charge. See Psalm 19:1-6

"We know God by two means: first, by the creation, preservation and government of the universe; which is before our eyes as a most elegant book, wherein all creatures, great and small, are as so many characters leading us to contemplate the invisible things of God, namely, his power and divinity, as the apostle Paul says (Romans 1:20). All which things are sufficient to convince men, and leave them without excuse. Secondly, God makes himself more clearly and fully known to us by his holy and divine Word, that is to say, as far as is necessary for us to know in this life, to his glory and our salvation." -- Belgic Confession, #2

"{Science} is written in this grand book – I mean the universe – which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one is wandering around in a dark labyrinth." -- Galileo, The Assayer
