Work...Parenting...Chores...

These words can fence in our lives. The demands on our time and energy leave us feeling depleted. How do we foster spiritual growth amid the demands of life?

Confession, solitude, service, studying the Word, praying, simplifying---these are the qualities that foster a flourishing, fruitful garden within our souls. In this book Keri Kent explores how the disciplines of gardening parallel the disciplines of our spiritual lives. As we work with God to create the right conditions in the soil of our souls, growth will follow. And the harvest will be glorious.

"Our first home was a garden where we were surrounded by natural images that served as teachers for cultivating our spiritual lives. When we left the garden and made cities for ourselves, we lost our connection with the soil. What Keri Kent has done through the garden of her own backyard is to reconnect us with our first teachers whose soft-spoken lessons are as winsome as they are wise."

-Ken Gire, author of Intimate Moments with the Savior

"If the thought of the spiritual disciplines intimidates you, then stop by The Garden of the Soul. Keri Kent's wonderful book helps us understand the importance and excitement that comes from cultivating our spiritual life. It will make you want to sink deeper roots with God- and maybe plant a garden too!"

-Lee Strobel, author of The Case for Christ

"With wisdom and humor, Keri Kent offers a practical handbook for gardening the soul. Both the novice and the experienced gardener will delight in her backyard tussels and triumphs, and anyone can grow spiritually through these honest insights to nurturing a relationship with God."

-Judith Couchman, author of A Garden's Promise
