The Garden Of The Lord

There’s a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They both come from dirt. They’re both told to bear fruit. In fact, arboreal language is so often applied to humans that it’s easy to miss, whether we're talking about family trees, passing along our seed, cutting someone off like a branch, being rooted to a place, or bearing the fruit of the Spirit. It’s hard to deny that trees mean something, theologically speaking. This book is in many ways a memoir, but it’s also an attempt to wake up the reader to the glory of God shining through his creation. One of the first commands to Adam and Eve was to “work and keep” the garden. Award-winning author and songwriter Andrew Peterson, being as honest as possible, shares a story of childhood, grief, redemption, and peace, by walking through a forest of memories: “I trust that by telling my story, you’ll encounter yours. Hopefully, like me, you’ll see that the God of the Garden is and has always been present, working and keeping what he loves.” Sometimes he plants, sometimes he prunes, but in his goodness he intends to reap a harvest of righteousness.

Understand what happens when we neglect our garden and how the resulting "weeds" can overtake it and cause barrenness in our souls. Discover that ultimately choosing the laying down of our will, as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane, will free us to love and enjoy Him. Identify with the stripping and suffering of our Savior in the garden of crucifixion and the "dying of self" we must all experience in our Christian walk. Find encouragement to respond to life with perseverance, faith and hope. You will be blessed as you journey with the Lord on the path to restoration of the Garden of the Lord and the abundant life He has for you!

A book to help reasses the meaning of the Bible and unite the lower self through spiritual development with one's higher self by looking within.

'Now the Lord God had planted a garden...and there he put the man he had formed.' Gen. 2:8 What is the Garden of God? At the beginning of Earth's history, God planted a garden for man to inhabit. At the end of time, the Bible reveals that mankind can once again walk with his creator in a perfect garden paradise. Between the books of Genesis and Revelation, the Holy Scriptures unveil the mystery of the Garden of God. Everyone yearns to return to this perfect place. Where was it located? What was its purpose? And how can anyone gain access to it? The full meaning and purpose of existence cannot be understood without grasping the essential nature, attributes and features of God's Garden. Every aspect of God's Garden should be understood, in order to live the life that the Creator designed. Since Adam was banished from Paradise, God has embarked upon a redemption strategy to bring people back to His Garden. This book helps the believer to journey back to the Garden of God, the place he always intended his people to inhabit. 'You were in Eden, the Garden of God.' - Ezek. 28:13

Hailed as "the most radical repackaging of the Bible since Gutenberg", these Pocket Canons give an up-close look at each book of the Bible.

Lord Jesus' first word, coming out of the 40 days in the wilderness where He defeated Satan, was "Repent" -the Kingdom is at hand. To repent is to decide to change direction from one's own mindset and ways of the world and the flesh to God's better Way of life. To repent is to die to self-rule. Repentance is also a key discipline to cleanse from old sin strongholds, to be ready as His Bride without spot or wrinkle for the soon-coming Bridegroom, the Returning Jesus Christ. Repentance is rarely taught; ignorance abounds that freedom and joy follow repentance. This key book offers a unique small group 14 session process to purify, to experience His Joy, to become more like Him. Pastor Jeffrey Daly, a former Wall Street lawyer, committed to serving Christ in 1991. He and his wife, Laurie, served as pastors of Jesus Christ Fellowship, Middletown, California. Retired from his legal practice, Pastor Jeff writes, teaches, and works with national repentance and prayer ministries in the United States and other nations. In addition to founding the National Day of Repentance he's also a director of Capitol Hill Prayer Partners, Washington, D.C. This is his fifth book. He is also the author of The Spiritual Battle for the White House, Making America Godly Again, Call on God's Protection Mr. President, and River & Streams in the Desert--the Forty Forties of Scripture, a Forty-Day Repentance Devotional.
