Lessons from the Garden: An Illustrated Study of Plants in the Bible (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798889280644)

-ABOUT THE BOOK: Have you ever considered just how many plants are mentioned in the Bible? 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. Lessons from the Garden: An Illustrated Study of Plants in the Bible 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.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." -John 15:5
