Book excerpt: The Abundance of the Garden creates a hybrid of the seasoned and tested wisdom for cultivating a garden that yields an abundant harvest and the humble truths the Bible offers for people desiring to live faithful and fruitful lives following Jesus Christ.

Prevette draws upon experience teaching agricultural education, raising diverse horticultural crops, and following Christ to offer a practical guide for both gardening and living fruitfully. Each chapter combines key Bible passages speaking of the intertwined disciplines of tending life and living faithfully, practical and informed insights guiding deliberate and patient horticulture, and the voices of others living the faith. This fertile combination yields a reflective handbook equally at home sitting in the study next to one's Bible or in the garden beside one's hoe. Addressing topics like "The Good Seed" and "Reap the Harvest," this guide also presents helpful advice for month-to-month work in the garden and guidance on discerning God's plans for living an abundantly faithful life. If you treasure land blooming with the wonders of God's creation and desire life blooming with the wonders of God's redemption in Christ, The Abundance of the Garden can help you to discover the parallels between gardening and living. By practicing both wisely and faithfully, you can enjoy a fruitful harvest.

Book excerpt: We all know the story of how Adam and Eve ate the apple and sin was introduced. God promised us that He was going to create a new place for us. But this place between the gardens can be hard. Life hasn’t gone the way I thought it would. I’ve always been a woman of faith, so why has all this happened? The struggle we face from that apple is real! I was a child raised in faith who strayed and made bad decisions. I entered into a marriage with a man I loved so much that quickly turned into a very physically abusive relationship that spiraled into every mother’s nightmare. I wish I could say that was it, but it’s not. This man whom I loved so much and who turned into someone I couldn’t recognize committed suicide, which left me full of guilt and fearful to raise our three children alone. The hits kept coming as I continued to get knocked down, now raising teenagers. I’m a single mother of three. I work like Martha and pray like Mary! Life knocks me down over and over. The Bible says that the righteous fall seven times, but I’ve been down more than that. Each time I fell, God has helped me back up, and when I couldn’t get back up, He stood up for me. Why, why do I have to go through this? If I look at the plants in the gardens that have been grown and pruned, I see the Lord, too, has been planting, pruning, and harvesting my life to bloom me into purpose. So many times, I have felt alone and ashamed. If you feel that way or have been through heartbreaking moments and just wonder if you really are a child of God, I’m here to tell you that you are! You are not alone! You are saved! And even when bad things happen, God can turn them into good. This is my story, and it’s raw and emotional. It’s my story of storms, planting, pruning, droughts, and transplanting that is blooming us into a new creation for His glory. I pray that sharing my tragedy and how God grew me and helped me bloom and heal will bring you comfort in your space between the gardens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know that life can be hard, and working in the garden and trying to grow a garden is hard work. In our lives, if we want to grow spiritually closer to God, it takes work and effort in each of our hearts. The truth that God gives us is from his Word. It is the seeds that we need to plant in our lives and be willing to accept. The seed has to have water so it can grow. We need the active working of God in our lives so the truth can come alive in our lives. As we grow, we need be close to Gods will in our lives, in the light of His will for our lives, so we can continue to grow for him. As God prepares us to do his work, we must be rooted in the foundational truths that God has for us in his Word. Like a garden, we have to be aware of the dangers that come in and can contaminate our effectiveness for God. All the steps that we need to take so that we might be fruitful for God, to have a final product that is worthy before God when one day we meet him. I hope that you will take the journey and see that you too can have a beautiful garden for God.

Book excerpt: We want to live loving, joyful, anxiety-free lives. Yet how can we live in grace when we’re so busy battling our old patterns of behavior?

Download or read book God s Garden on Earth Today written by Sue Shields and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-11 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the simple analogy of earth being God's garden, and the people His desired harvest, and His divine desire to bring us back into His New Garden of Eden. God's Garden on Earth Today, shows in a simple to understand format, how God is still at work today in the believer's life, even if they fail to recognize that fact. Written in a unique, yet simple style that the average reader can understand the basic truths of God's Word, and how it still relates to our world today. God has always had a plan, and the desire to return His children back to His Garden, and restore that personal relationship He had with man before the fall, and his removal from the Garden of Eden. Using simple analogies, parables and metaphors help expose the similarities between the first marriage of Adam and Eve in the garden, and the Bride (Church) who is awaiting her soon coming Groom, (Jesus) and our upcoming marriage on His arrival.

Download or read book Take Root and Bear Fruit written by L. Maxwell Owen and published by . This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all started in a garden... From the garden of Eden to the garden of Gethsemane, to our eternal home in the garden of the Father, the garden has been a symbol or representation of our journey in this life. Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to take root in God, to love Him with all of our heart, all of our soul, all of our mind, and all of our strength, and to anchor our souls in Him and in His word. Over and over in the Bible, we are also instructed to bear fruit. Bearing fruit or spreading the good news of the kingdom is a natural outcome of a heart that is wholly His. When we are rooted, sure and steadfast in God, we will impact the lives of those around us for Him; it is inevitable. We bear fruit when we are firmly rooted to the Lord. In this book, Mrs. Owen uses the analogy of a garden to beautifully illustrate this correlation between taking root and bearing fruit. There are many different players and contributors in the garden, each one with their own job to do: pollinators, sunlight, water, gardening tools, and more. Mrs. Owen shares with us how, just as in the garden, each person in the family of God has their own unique purpose. When we all work together, we become a fruitful and abundant garden firmly rooted in God and bearing fruit for His kingdom. "The surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and out of Mount Zion survivors. The zeal of the Lord will perform this" (2 Kings 19:30). This verse from 2 Kings can be understood literally as well as figuratively. Yes, God's people would once again plant and harvest the land, but they would also once again be rooted in God's hand, bearing fruit for Him. The goal of this book is to help us all become more firmly rooted in God and active in bearing fruit for Him, not from compulsion but from the joy of knowing our God.

Download or read book Sacred Pathways written by Gary Thomas and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

Download or read book Spiritual Rhythm written by Mark Buchanan and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2010-08-24 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Abide in me," Jesus tells us, "and you will bear much fruit." Yet too often we forget that fruit needs different seasons in order to grow. We measure our spiritual maturity by how much we do rather than how we are responding to our current spiritual season. In Spiritual Rhythm, Mark Buchanan replaces our spirituality of busyness with a spirituality of abiding. Sometimes we are busy, sometimes still, sometimes pushing with all we've got, sometimes waiting. This model of the spiritual life measures and produces growth by asking: Are we living in rhythm with the season we are in? With the lyrical writing for which he is known, Mark invites us to respond to every season of the heart, whether we are flourishing and fruitful, stark and dismal, or cool and windy. In comparing spiritual rhythms to the seasons of the year, he shows us what to expect from each season and how embracing the seasons causes our spiritual lives to prosper. As he draws on the powerful words of Scripture, Mark explores what activities are suitable or necessary in each season--and what activities are useless or even harmful in that season. Throughout the book, Mark weaves together stories of young and old, men and women, families, couples, and individuals who are in or have been through a particular season of the heart. As Mark writes, "I pray that this book meets you in whatever season you're in, and prepares you for whatever seasons await. I pray that it helps you find your voice, your stride, your rhythm, in season or out. Mostly, I pray that you, with or without my help, find Christ wherever you are. And that, even more, you discover that wherever you are, he's found you."
