Soft and delicate flowers, some fragrant and some just lovely, some in profusion and some very dainty, create a fresh sense of Christian love. By interweaving a depiction of flowers and the Scriptures, this book attempts to illustrate how flowers can inspire a Scriptural application of love.

I invite you to join me on a spiritual journey, a journey of beautiful flowers and a sojourn into the depths of Christian love. Feel God's gentle touch as thirty flowers are colorfully presented from the Gethsemane Prayer Garden near Syracuse, NY. In this book, I attempt to bring out unique aspects of each flower that deeply touched me: representations of the Father's love and our heartfelt response.

"I thoroughly enjoy Tom's writing. He is presenting the beauty of his Lord Jesus revealed in the well-tended flowers of his church's Gethsemane Prayer Garden. You will want to spend time in these pages and allow the love of our Lord to flow over you through the beauty of His own creation. Amazing insights!"
Iris Godfrey, CEO, Psalm 19 Ministries

"I am amazed at this book – I was deeply touched by it. It is Holy Spirit inspired and wonderful. It seems as if the Holy Spirit wrote it through Tom. I love the common theme of God's love throughout it."
Dr. J. Lee Simmons, President, Living Faith Global Ministries

"I really enjoyed the beautiful photos of the flowers in this book, and found Tom's applications to biblical principles fascinating and refreshing. I think you'll enjoy this book too."
Bob Sorge, author, Secrets of the Secret Place


I invite you to come with me on this journey. As Caretaker of the Gethsemane Prayer Garden, I was often struck by how certain flowers seemed particularly soft and restful, or joyful and carefree, or just profoundly beautiful. These representations pointed me to the mystery of love, the compassion of God being revealed from within our hearts, and the fullness of the expression of that love. I believe that through this book, the Lord is attempting to elevate each of us to His greater purpose – true and deep lovers of the Lord and one another.
