Have you noticed there are lots of gardening references in the Bible? Well, it seems that many of us living in cities and suburbs suffer from a “disconnect” with the natural world. We see our forests on telly, and watch our gardens on reality shows! This booklet, one of the “grove spirituality” series, is a call to re-discover gardening and re-engage with the metaphors it offers for faith and growth. It has plenty of case studies of communities who have turned to the soil - for quiet time, hands-on meditation, solace and community engagement. The chapters are short and focussed, and have questions for discussion at the end. Great for a small group. Find it at the Roscoe Library or at Grove Books.
