COCOA, Fla., Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Barbara Holmes motivates Christian women to grow spiritually and go deeper into their identity in Christ Jesus in Finding Rest in The Garden of The Lord ($20.49, paperback, 9781662856686; $8.99, e-book, 9781662856693).
Holmes' devotional was born from years of facing and overcoming unexpected challenges in her own life—a testimony bloomed to become a fragrant praise of her love for Jesus. She shares the necessary tools for cultivating a "spiritual garden" so readers can learn to view the often challenging seasons of life as part of a sacred journey. Holmes spun a delightful combination of scripture, poetry and art into a thought-provoking, inspirational and relatable devotional. Her aim is to highlight ripe testimonies and describe the sometimes-harsh realities of unexpected winters and how to grow from them.
Holmes offers clear Biblical directives on how to get rid of weeds in the difficult seasons of life. She also gives readers a clear understanding of how the Creator wants to use each Christian's fruit and compost for His Glory and help each follower find rest in the middle of any challenging circumstance. The author's prayer is that this book will help cultivate and mature each woman's spiritual growth.
"Finding Rest in The Garden of The Lord was born out of unexpected soil in my life," said Holmes. "Overcoming childhood abuse, depression, homelessness, a debilitating disease and many other trials all served as the soil that helps grow the spiritual fruit that I needed to navigate the life changing transitions I experienced in the last few years. Jesus was there helping me through every step."
