In the Garden: An Illustrated Guide to the Plants of the Bible
(Whitaker House, 2020)

WHO: Judith Dinsmore, editor.

HE SAYS: “Rather than being a dictionary of the plants mentioned in the Bible, In the Garden, with its original illustrations and plant descriptions, is meant to spark the reader’s spiritual imagination.”

THE BIG IDEA: Original illustrations and descriptions of 50 plants found in Israel and surrounding area.

THE PROGRESSION:
In the Garden includes indexes to each plant and its corresponding Scripture references, a calendar of Jewish festivals and the growing seasons in Israel, and tips for growing your very own biblically inspired garden.

“On the third day of creation, God created plants, trees, and all manner of other leafy vegetation by the word of his mouth (Gen. 1:11–13).”
