Book Summary
What do natural beauty and a garden compost pile have to teach us about the meaning of faith? What can the demise of a favorite rhododendron reveal about the limits of prayer? Everything in the garden becomes grist for Balfour Brickner's search for a spirituality that can withstand the tests of both modern cynicism and contemporary science. What, in due course, he discovers: it is observation, doubt, wonderment, and questioning--not blind acceptance of a given doctrine--that lead to faith. For Rabbi Brickner, the resonance between biblical teachings and botanical life provides daily revelations.
