Glory in the Garden
Glory in the Garden: 31 Days of Devotionals is an inspiring devotional book birthed out of the author’s hobby of gardening. A Bible teacher at heart, Jill McSheehy takes her own gardening observations and inspires readers to see Bible truths contained in the simplicity of creation. These devotionals take commonly known passages such as the Parable of the Soils and evoke a sense of quiet peacefulness as they are read through the eyes of the beginning gardener. Everyone with an appreciation for nature–both the seasoned gardener and the non-gardener alike–will be inspired by the insights and intricate details of creation contained within these 31 days of devotionals.

Flourish: Discover how the mystery of compost holds the key to living a fruitful life in Christ
In her second book comparing her gardening experiences with Bible truths, Jill McSheehy shares her observations of compost and how they strikingly correspond to both Jesus’ command to take up our cross and His promises to bring growth out of what was once dead and useless.
The first part of the book offers a brief description of composting and its purpose. The second part shows how each element of composting compares to the life Jesus called His people to live.
With practical applications and personal stories, Jill McSheehy blends the practical and the spiritual in a way that allows readers to put into practice the simple truths she shares. A quick read, her purpose is clear: helping people live a life that counts for the Kingdom of God, where they can flourish.
