Inspired by the Book
God’s Word for Gardeners Bible is a devotional Bible for gardeners, featuring daily essays on a range of garden themes, Bible plants, landscapes of Scripture, and quotations from garden writing across the history and “how to” of gardening. Enjoy digging into the oldest gardening book from a gardener’s point of view.
No other book examines gardening knowledge and wisdom in Scripture with the devotion of God’s Word for Gardeners Bible. Discover that gardening is not merely a quaint metaphor but an essential tool in growing a deep faith in God and His Word.
In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.
James 1:21 The Message
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.
