Gardening with God:
Lessons from the Master Gardener
A Thirty-one Day Devotional Guide
As Anita Schlaht cleared the lot on which her new home was being built, God’s Word, as it relates to gardening and nature, came to life. Over and over, references to trees, vines, well-watered gardens, grass, flowers, and thorns, touched her heart, and emphasized how God is the Master Gardener.
Each daily reading includes scripture and an excerpt from Anita’s hands-on journal, in which she shares spiritual lessons God taught her as she worked in her garden. Each day also contains a suggested prayer and room for taking notes.
Reviews of Gardening with God:
“This uplifting book is a must-read for any gardener. Anita parallels her gardening experience with how God, the Master Gardener, nurtures your soul.”
Cynthia A. Moore, Logan County Master Gardener, Past-President Edmond Iris and Garden Society
Anita’s love of gardening is interwoven with the deep richness of God and His truths. This beautiful devotional is filled with tidbits of God, His Creation, and our desire to grow in Him. Everyone will benefit from this book.

STONE GIRL
by Susan York Meyers

At almost fourteen, Myra shops in the fat girl department. No one, least of all her mother, let’s her forget it. Except for Myra’s almost-imaginary friend, a statue of a girl out in the woods.
So when Myra finally finds a friend who wants to spend time with her, and doesn’t mind being seen with her, she wonders if it’s for real. Or will her new friend be like all the other kids, and make fun of her for being fat?
And who is answering the notes Myra leaves at the statue? Is the writer a friend or a foe?
She may have to choose between a longed-for friendship and doing the right thing.
