About the Author

Shelley S. Cramm loves to see the ancient words of Scripture come alive in today’s gardens. She is the author of devotions for God’s Word for Gardeners Bible, writes the Devotions Blog at www.gardenindelight.com, and speaks enthusiastically to garden clubs and faith groups about the connection of garden to table to Scripture to life.

Wife and mother of five, Shelley’s inspiration to write a gardener’s Bible grew out of a routine of morning journaling and an enduring hope to finish up the laundry and go outside and play! Transplanted Californians, Shelley and her husband Topher live and garden happily in Irving, Texas.
