The power of a woman is most concretely observed in the seeds she plants, day after day, in the lives of those around her. Soul Garden is a sizable collection of personal stories, essays, poems, and recipes written to cultivate the motherly role of women by offering inspiration, camaraderie, and encouragement.
Contributors from across the country and around the world invite readers to put away their screens and to pick up this lovely, tangible book, in which they can find nourishment for the soul and tips for practical life.
Among the nine chapters are "Nurture", which encourages women in their call to care for the children and other people God has placed in their lives; "Ponder", which considers the lessons, blessings, and challenges of motherhood; "Dwell", which suggests ways to create a beautiful home, regardless of a woman's budget; and "Fiat", which honors the Blessed Virgin Mary as the model woman.
Soul Garden aims to strengthen the heart of the mother, thereby strengthening the heart of the Church and of society itself.
