Fragrance of God
In this literary gem Vigen Guroian chronicles not merely the changing seasons but the course of his own life as he and his family move from Maryland to a new home near the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Leaving the old garden behind and cultivating another garden become an emblem of our journey through life, marked as it is by both bitter losses and sweet new blessings. While deeply personal, The Fragrance of God vividly unfolds the great biblical themes of the grandeur of God's creation, the senses as "paths" to experiencing God, and the garden as a "place" of birth, death, and renewal. Laced throughout with quotations from Guroian's beloved church fathers and replete with theological reflection, The Fragrance of God will lead readers down a path of deeper insight into the creation and the Creator.

Gardeners and the Master Gardener
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book grows on a person. I liked it and will like it more. I gave it to gardeners I know who, in turn, really liked it. It puts gardening in contemporary play and worship reminding the one who gardens of the first commission to tend the garden, and so, also of the Master Gardener. Lovely. Probably one of the books I'll re-read annually.
