Using the Biblical image of gardening, Christopher Chapman offers material for those seeking to live a more abundant and fruitful life. He explores four stages of spiritual development: - Sinking roots into God’s creative earth: practices that reveal where we can grow and develop. - Emergence: ‘holy daring’ and responding to God’s invitation to put out new shoots. - Abundance and maturity: how to recognize resistance to the work of the Spirit. - Fruitfulness and falling: finding fulfillment in giving and receiving. The material is also ideal for personal reading during a retreat or by those receiving spiritual direction.
