Garden to Garden: Through the Bible from Eden to Eternal Paradise

by Marian Jordan Ellis

Discover God's redemptive plan for humanity as you embark on a journey from garden to garden—from Eden to eternity.
 
The Bible tells a singular and unified story. While it contains sixty-six individual books written over thousands of years, it reveals one unified message—the story of how God redeems humanity from sin and death and makes all things new. Scripture is God-breathed. Opening its pages, we discover who we are, why we are here, what happened to us, our eternal destiny, and how we live and breathe from day to day through God's redeeming love and His unconquerable grace.
 
In Garden to Garden , readers discover how God moved through human history—from the garden of Eden to the promise of eternity—to restore us to His presence. Marian Jordan Ellis, the founder of This Redeemed Life Ministry, walks alongside readers as they journey through the Bible in an entirely fresh and unique way through this collection of short devotional readings that lead the reader through the story arc of God’s great redemptive plan. Readers will come to understand that although the weeds of sin, shame, and blame grow wild in the human heart, our longing for Eden—our true home—always remains.
 
A holy invitation to know and be known by the Living God, Garden to Garden will enhance your knowledge of God's Word, provide you with a greater understanding of how to flourish in His grace, and reveal how Jesus makes all things new! While echoes of Eden fill the human heart, Garden to Garden points us home, to abide in the glorious and beautiful garden distinguished by the Presence of God.

I really enjoyed this devotional that shows the Bible as one cohesive story. I have never thought of heaven as an eternal garden and loved learning more. This devotional is not a super quick read and requires time for thought and pondering as you read. I recommend this to believers seeking a devotional that will teach them more about the Bible and their faith.

"The Bible is one story, which unfolds from garden to garden. While it contains sixty-six individual books written over thousands of years, it reveals one unified message because there is one Divine Author behind it all. From the Garden of Eden in Genesis to the eternal garden paradise promised in Revelation, the Bible explains how God redeems humanity from sin and death and makes all things new!"

I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

I really was excited for a book to explore nature and God through devotional. Started strong and then quickly became “and this took place in a garden.” Great concept but the author could’ve done better to execute the idea, illuminate new stories or bring fresh perspectives to the most known Bible stories and ask deeper probing questions.

Some good pointers in the writing, but is a typical book of this genre.
