Consider not only the lilies of the field, but all the plants, trees, herbs, shrubs, and flowers that play a role in the biblical narrative through this illustrated guide. From the barley, Ruth harvested to the hyssop David craved, from the frankincense the wise men brought to Jesus to the sycamore tree Zacchaeus climbed, the Bible is peppered with allusions to the plants that were a part of daily life in the ancient Near East and in New Testament Israel.

With original illustrations, this beautiful gift book clarifies the biblical references to fifty plants and provides delightful new insights into the Word of God. Includes indexes to each plant and its corresponding Scripture references, a calendar of Jewish festivals and the growing seasons in Israel, and tips for growing your own biblically inspired garden.

My Thoughts on In The Garden:

I loved this!  I’m an avid gardener and herb lover so this was really neat.  I loved getting to know plants and herbs that were used during Bible times as well as how they were used.  

Especially amazing to me is the Jewish calendar and growing season.  It’s very different than ours but I like how the growing season corresponds to the feast days.  It makes their lives make a bit more sense to me. 

Now I’m off to plan a small Biblical herb garden.  This should be fun and a great learning experience for not only me but my children as well.
