Notes: Some books we search for. Some books we are given. Some books we are told we need to read for a class or course. And yet there are those rare books that we find. Like finding a gem when we weren't actually looking. This is one of those special books.

When I cam across The Fragrance of God it was a pleasant surprise. As it was mixed with an assortment of books that were covered in a fine layer of dust. And obviously had not been perused for some time.

I think the cover caught my eye to begin with. I enjoy flowers and even assist with the flower arrangements at the Church I attend. So the combination of the cover and the title got me interested.

What I discovered as I read the book, was a rich tapestry of scripture and a spiritual journey. Not so much a technical book on how to do things in the garden. But more a wonderful reflection on how the garden has, and in many ways, still reflects God's creation.

It's a wonderful book for even those who are not in the least interested in gardening. As it is full of inspiration and insight. Well worth reading.
