Growing With My Garden: Thoughts on Tending the Soil and the Soul

by Rolland Hein

Rolland Hein has woven together two of his passions - poetry and growing things - to create a book that is both a Christian devotional and a gardening primer. The garden provides so many illustrations for life and growth as spiritual human beings. Hein's illustrations are full of poignant quotes from such great poets as Simone Weil, William Blake, Emily Dickinson, and John Updike. This book will serve as a tremendous resource for both seasoned and first time gardeners. It includes a bibliography and recommended sources for supplies in the gardening world with their internet addresses.
