Roots and Sky: A Journey Home in Four Seasons by Christie Purifoy

5.0

I loved this book! Her interweaving of home and garden, seasons and days, faith and family life is beautiful. I underlined madly and will have to go back and reread this book again and again. She reminds me of Madeleine L'Engle in her musings on life. The meditations on home and garden draw me in just as all books like this do.

Just a tiny taste: "Quietness is a receptive emptiness. Only the meek will inherit the earth because only the meek have room within themselves to receive such a wide and wild inheritance."

If you love to read about gardens and making a place for those you love, God's promises and our struggles to remember them, beauty and truth and goodness, read this book.
