Christian spirituality & religious experience; Christian life & practice; Prayers & liturgical material

In this fast-paced, distracted modern life, hearts often go neglected, affecting relationships with God, family, friends, neighbors, and oneself. Jesus spoke extensively about the state of a person's heart in discipleship to him. His teachings, from the first century to the twenty-first century, carry timeless and relevant truths. With years of practical gardening experience, Michelle delves into Jesus' Parable of the Sower, offering wisdom on cultivating wholeness in life and openness to his word. She provides insights into: -Fundamental principles for achieving spiritual health and wholeness -Strategies to avoid pitfalls that can damage the heart -Techniques to monitor the condition of the heart, akin to how a gardener tends to soil Readers will feel as though they've taken a moment to slow down and nurture their hearts, to enjoy a cup of hot coffee and a slice of Michelle's fresh-baked sourdough bread.

Reviews for A Good Soil Life: Cultivating a Resilient and Whole Heart in a Hurried World

""Michelle has written a very personal, encouraging guide for tending one's heart with all of the tender affection--and straight talk borne from experience--that you'd expect from a gardening mother in loving pursuit of God. Read this book and reap a harvest of faith!"" --Steven Manuel, author of Critical Skills and Strongholds ""Jesus brilliantly shared parables to make his lessons 'stick.' In this book, Michelle does the same, using gardening and the importance of healthy soil to discuss the Christian life. Michelle has a depth of personal experience--not just in gardening but in living life with Jesus--and her writing is both inviting and challenging. I especially appreciated the section on dangers: things in life that we need to watch out for lest our hearts grow cold."" --Vilppu Anttila, director of Story-Formed Life
