2nd Hand - Gardening With God: Light In Darkness By Jane Mossendew

There is a long association between the joy of gardening and the spiritual life. This relatiionship is explored here with a meditation on one - or occasionally more - plants per day, from Advent to Shrove Tuesday and the Solemnities and saints days of this period. In winter, Christians prepare their gardens and souls, first for the Light of Christmas, and then for the rigour of Lent which will lead them to the glory of Easter.#

Each days plant is presented with cultivation notes and a fascinating glimpse into its history and lore, followed by a 'towards meditation' section, the themes of which are deepened by suggested Bible readings from the liturgy of the day. Lastly, to help busy modern Christians keep in touch wityh God at work, a biblical 'place of spiritual retreat' is recommended. In Ordinary Time, the author follows the church as it prepares for Lent and considers plants appropriate to liturgical themes.
