The Well-Watered Garden Handbook: How to grow simple gardens that bring lasting hope by Noah Sanders

By faithfully planting simple gardens that reflect the humility, unselfishness, and faithfulness of Jesus, we will be creating something worth multiplying in God’s eyes. The Holy Spirit can then use our faithful example to spread Jesus’s message and increase food security for the poor around the world one person at a time, farther than we could ever hope to do so by ourselves.
