NEW RELEASE: The Garden of God’s Heart

Hope and Life Press is pleased to announce the release of the full color, illustrated, nonfiction devotional book featuring English country gardens and 180 meditations for daily use titled The Garden of God's Heart by British Christian contemplative author and artist Keren Dibbens-Wyatt of Tunbridge Wells. Each piece of creation has something to offer to those looking for deep lessons in life. Praying our way through the wonders of God's gardens, His creation, we can learn more about His gracious heart - the heart that knew His human creatures were happiest there, tending and co-gardening with the Lord; watching and living the cycles of the seasons, and the comings and goings of all creatures, great and small. Joys and surprises are always available to be discovered and considered even in the most humble of gardens. The Garden of God's Heart is available in paperback edition from Amazon and other booksellers, and in paperback and ebook editions directly from Hope and Life Press.

EARLY REVIEWS

"I love reading Keren's work, she is a great writer" - Rev. Richard Rohr, OFM, Catholic author, globally recognized ecumenical teacher, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation.

"Jesus said, 'My Father is the Gardener,' and they say you feel closer to God in a garden - I most certainly do! That is why a book of meditations, which draws us closer to His heart through the simplicity of a garden, will surely bless many people. I so love Keren's latest book! I can only describe it as exquisite" - Jennifer Rees Larcombe, Christian author and speaker, founder of the Beauty From Ashes charity and Christian house of prayer.

"Delightful collection of meditations from an English country garden. I love Keren Dibbens-Wyatt's poetic prose, which invites us into the contemplation of God's beautiful creation in fresh and insightful ways. Each phrase holds treasures of understanding that lingered on my tongue and in my thoughts, beckoning me to dig deeper and enter the garden of God's heart. A refreshing and enjoyable book not just for those who love gardens, but for anyone whose senses are stirred by the fragrance of a flower or the beauty of a tree" - Christine Sine, founder of Godspace, executive director of Mustard Seed Associates.

"The Garden of God's Heart offers a daily invitation into deep seeing of the world beneath its surfaces. I recommend this book as a dose of wonder each morning, to spark a new aliveness in your heart" - Christine Valters-Paintner, Ph.D., author of nine books on monastic spirituality, founder of the Abbey of the Arts.
