In writing this book, I searched the New Testament looking for both the Greek word agape (which means God-like love) and ways to demonstrate that love. Various aspects of Christian love were then matched with thirty flowers from the Gethsemane Prayer Garden.

I tried to bring out the loveliness of each flower in writing about each topic, associating God's beautiful creations with deep and profound demonstrations of love. Please join me on a walk through the loveliness of flowers and into the essence of being a Christian that truly loves.
