BACK TO CHRIST THROUGH EARTHWORM IN GARDEN

The book is written by a wife-mother who rediscovered faith in Christ through gardening. The author Mary Warren was a believer, married to a pastor-husband and having seven children. The staunch christian family had broken into pieces. Her husband had left her and ordination vows. Her first four children lost to drugs, meaningless life styles. She has lost her faith. She can't pray? Pray to whom? The turing point happened because of a file of garbage. She can't pay the charges for city's garbage disposal. So she dugs hole in the backyard and bury the garbage ( waste food items).After somedays, when she dugs the place again, she comes across the black soil and earthworms. Where the garbage gone? Looking at the earthworm, she has a fresh awareness of the strange mixture of simplicity and complexity of creation process. "Millenia before any of us were around to toss pancakes or drive children to swimming lessons, earthworms were moving soil. Generations pass, nations vanish, and their tunneling continues."...She is slowly drawn into study of earthworms, later about bird feeds because of her son, and later to gardening. Slowly her faith returns without her notice, later her husband returns and after some months, he goes back to pastorship. This story is told in a wonderful and sensitive way. The contents-titles goes like this: The desolate places, another season, silence, rock, water, waiting, the first garden, trees, samll things, the other side of Darkness, Light, Another Garden... Every chapter has a apt quotation from Bible. For example, the Rock chapter discusses how she thinks about life holding a small piece of rock. she is reminded about : " The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer", sang David,"my God,my rock,in whom I take refuge"....The chapters are written in this fashion. Good to read with a bible. Last line:I had come home.Wonderful book.
