The Garden of the Soul Zusammenfassung

The Garden of the Soul: Cultivating Your Spiritual Life Keri Wyatt Kent

Work. Parenting. Chores. These words can fence in your life. The demands on your time and energy too often leave you feeling depleted. How do you foster spiritual growth amid the realities of life today? Confession, solitude, service, studying the Word, praying, simplifying. Keri Wyatt Kent introduces these disciplines--the practices that foster a flourishing, fruitful garden within your soul. In The Garden of the Soul Kent explores how common disciplines of gardening parallel these necessary habits of spiritual life. As you work with God to create the right conditions in the soil of your soul, growth will follow. And the harvest will be glorious.

The Garden of the Soul Bewertungen

In nine short chapters, Kent uncovers connections between gardening and the Christian life. Some of these insights have been fodder for other spirituality-of-gardening books; the necessity of the regular pruning of both trees and souls has been lovingly explored before. Other chapters are more original, as when Kent compares the need for Sabbath rest to the biblical command of allowing land to lie fallow at predetermined intervals. The book is refreshingly honest; Kent gracefully presents an 'ideal' of spiritual practice while admitting that she often falls short of that ideal. Well-written and often perceptive, Kent's book will be most appreciated by fellow gardeners, particularly parents, since many of the insights here relate as much to raising children as they do to growing plants. -- Jana Reiss for Religion Bookline (an e-mail newsletter from Publishers Weekly), May 14, 2002
