The Garden: A Spiritual Fable About Ways to Overcome Fear, Anxiety, and Stress

As a big fan of Jon Gordon’s I had been wanting to read another book of his. Having recently lost my fiancé to suicide it made it easy to decide to read ‘The Garden’. At the time I didn’t know much about the book but as I read it I realized God had a purpose in the selection of this particular book. An easy read, reminds us of the hope we have in God’s love and how our mind can be controlled by the thoughts we allow in. I love seeing Jon speak more and more about his faith so thank you Jon. I highly recommend this delightful fable.

With the hard times we are all going through now, a great book to read.Highly recommend this book

This book is different to Jon Gordon's other books which he is very clear to state from the outset however it is very relevant for the times we are going through. The narrative of this spiritual fable is very well-articulated and cleverly written. It was refreshing to read this book, definitely food for the soul, tapping into very real and current struggles of everyday life, adversity, trials and tribulations, human emotions, fulfilment, challenges and opportunities, happiness and contentment.Once you pick this book up to read you will not be able to put it down until you finish. It's a very easy read book and the analogies used are in a very simplistic form to understand but have such a profound and powerful meaning.

The Garden was a quick read the first time. Now the book study begins to capture all that Jon has in the book. The quote, "To answer your questions of why Adam and Even were given a choice in the first place, they had to be given a choice. God had to create space for them to choose Him." is a great message to so many that ponder "free will and choice". The Carpenter and now The Garden are a critical part of my use in helping people in their personal struggles that deal with being successful in work and in life purpose. The Garden speaks to so many people. It is a great attractor but the value of the information is overpowering. Every Sunday School Class should use this at every age to have a great discussion. Every parent should give their child a copy to readJon’s ability to take complex material and put into a simplistic read is one of his greatest gifts. The reader needs to sit and read and then go back and reread with study to get the so many messages within it. Thanks John. Did it again.
