Book Review: Devotions from the Garden with Miriam Drennan


Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. The cover of Devotions from the Garden is simply beautiful and restful looking. I just want to walk into the garden pictured and have a seat on the swing, rest and look at the beauty and commune with God. The subtitle is "Finding Peace and Rest from Your Hurried Life." This book could help you do just that.

Devotions from the Garden offers beautiful garden pictures to look at along with meditations on God's Word beginning with a Bible verse and ending with a prayer. This is not a dated book so the reader can start at the beginning or could start anywhere and read what you feel led to read among these 90 devotions. Readings draw parallels between life and gardening. Gentle relationships between the Christian life and various aspects of gardening offers a lovely reading for each day with both hopes and challenges being addressed. Just about any area of gardening is related to life. A few examples include: the root system, pollinating bees, drought, drop rotation, and staking plants.

This book would be a great gift for anyone who enjoys gardening. Both the beautiful pictures and the readings would be an encouragement to anyone who enjoys plants and reading the Bible.

I received Devotions from the Garden from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.
