Lessons from the Garden

<p>-<strong>ABOUT THE BOOK: </strong><em style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Have you ever considered just how many plants are mentioned in the Bible?</em><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> From the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation references to flowers herbs and trees are given countless times often for the purpose of conveying a deeper meaning and teaching a spiritual lesson. When we stop and study the nature of each plant we can gain a better understanding of what it was created for how its characteristics relate to our created purpose. </span><em style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Lessons from the Garden: An Illustrated Study of Plants in the Bible</em><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> is a thirty-six-lesson (plus two bonus lessons) family devotional that teaches character traits by using flowers herbs and trees from the Bible. Within each lesson readers will dive into what each plant is how it can be used (health benefits) and what character lessons we can draw from its use in scripture. There are also many fun family-friendly art project ideas recipes games and activities that relate to each plant. The materials needed for these activities can be accessed through a FREE downloadable resource packet which also includes coloring pages that kids (or you!) can use to engage kinetically during each lesson. Dive in as a family or individually and discover more about our magnificent creative God and all He has given us in abundance on this earth. </span></p><p></p><p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>I am the vine; you are the branches.
