The God of the Garden: Thoughts on Creation, Culture, and the Kingdom

Ginger says: This spiritual memoir is a life told through trees, from the giant maples in the front yard of the parson’s house, Peterson’s childhood home, to the trees that make up the Chapter House, where the singer-songwriter houses his studio. His simple sketches throughout add to the beauty, and made me think about the trees of my life: the pear tree in my Mamaw’s yard, the weeping willow in a certain young man’s neighborhood where we stole kisses as a teenager, that giant live oak covered in Spanish moss that I paced and paced and paced around as a young adult, listening and learning to a wise older mentor, the puny, but priceless Japanese maple in my current yard that I’ve fallen in love with and hope to care for as long as I’m able.
