Seasons in My Garden

Sr. Elizabeth Wagner, award-winning writer, tells in Seasons in My Garden how caring to a garden in her Maine hermitage lead her to a greater understanding of what it is to have faith, love others, and trust in God's compassion. Her remarkable eye for nature's most delicate elements can assist you in finding a route that will lead you closer to God as well.  

Sr. Wagner thought that God was calling her to deeper contemplation, so she created a hermitage in the Maine woods to contemplate nature and become closer to God.

Seasons in My Garden is a thought-provoking series of reflections written by Sr. Wagner as she observed the progression of her own monastery garden over the seasons. Her insights encourage you to peer over her shoulder as she tends to her lovely garden and ponders the secrets of God's creation and how they relate to her own life.

You will identify with Sr. Wagner as she fights with emotions of a frigid heart—just as her garden lay buried beneath a foot of snow—and realizes that God was trying to regenerate her soul in this intriguing novel. Sr. Wagner will help you comprehend that proper soul preparation will help you overcome the desire to dislike others as unforeseen storms threatened to ruin her hard work.

Seasons in My Garden deftly combines lessons from Sr. Wagner's personal development through the seasons with spiritual instruction and the realization that patiently caring to your soul can help you grow into a beautiful garden that God may use to show his splendour.
