Consider not only the lilies of the field, but all the plants, trees, herbs, shrubs, and flowers that play a role in the biblical narrative through this illustrated guide. From the barley Ruth harvested to the hyssop David craved, from the frankincense the wise men brought to Jesus to the sycamore tree Zacchaeus climbed, the Bible is peppered with allusions to the plants that were a part of daily life in the ancient Near East and in New Testament Israel. With original illustrations, this beautiful gift book clarifies the biblical references to fifty plants and provides delightful new insights into the Word of God. Includes indexes to each plant and its corresponding Scripture references, a calendar of Jewish festivals and the growing seasons in Israel, and tips for growing your own biblically inspired garden.

My Review:
I am so impressed with this book. The illustrations are beautiful, and they help the reader visualize the plants that we read about in the Bible. The description of each plant is informative, but this book does so much more than just fill a spot as a reference book. Each plant’s illustration and description is accompanied by a passage of Scripture, and the author’s devotional thoughts expand on the plant’s significant meaning in the passage. I also liked learning how each plant was used in everyday life during Biblical times. I’m glad to have this one to use a guide for when I read these passages and know that it’s going to be a great resource in the future.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
More from Whitaker House
Rather than being a dictionary of the plants mentioned in the Bible, In the Garden, with its original illustrations and plant descriptions, is meant to spark the reader’s spiritual imagination. It is our hope that these pages about the plants of the Bible will prompt your imagination and inform your study of the precious Word of the living God.
