Description
In Seasons in My Garden, award-winning author Sr. Elizabeth Wagner reveals how tending to a garden in her Maine hermitage brought her to a deeper understanding of what it means to have faith, love others, and hope in the mercy of God. Her keen eye for the most intricate details of nature will let you find a path that brings you closer to God as well.
Sr. Wagner believed God used to be calling her into deeper contemplation, so she built a hermitage in the Maine wilderness with a purpose to ponder nature and grow to be closer to God.
Seasons in My Garden is a thought-provoking series of meditations, written as Sr. Wagner watched her own monastic garden progress through the seasons. Her reflections invite you to look over her shoulder as she has a tendency to her beautiful garden and meditates at the mysteries of God’s creation and how it corresponds with her own life.
In this captivating book, you’re going to relate to Sr. Wagner as she struggles with feelings of a cold heart–just as her garden lay frozen under a foot of snow–and realizing that God used to be working to renew her spirit. As sudden storms threatened to destroy her hard work, Sr. Wagner will let you take into account that careful preparation of the soul will let you withstand the temptation to resent others.
Seasons in My Garden intricately weaves insights from Sr. Wagner’s own growth through the seasons with spiritual guidance and an understanding that patient tending to your soul will let you grow into a beautiful garden that God can use to reflect his glory.
