Gardening for God
Jane Mossendew's personal experience of gardening and spirituality has been carefully worked out over a number of years in this book of daily meditations based on a plant per day. Each day has a line drawing of the plant, a cultivation note, its history and lore. It includes meditation, suggested readings and places of spiritual retreat, and intercessions. The book is a reflection of a lifetime of reading by the author and it can be read on a variety of levels.
The Crown of the Year
There has been a long association between the discipline and joy of gardening and that of prayer and modern spiritual life. But hitherto these have not been explored in any depth. Flowers, trees, herbs and shrubs are shown to be intrinsically linked to our spirituality. In good times and in troubled times, the garden, whatever its size, even a window-box collection of one's own favourite herbs, can evoke calm and provide an oasis for contemplation and healing. This third book falls neatly into three sections - From Easter to Pentecost, Ordinary Time (including Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi, the Immaculate Heart of Mary) and Solemnities and Saints' Days - from St Catherine of Sienna to St Au...
Thorn, Fire and Lily
For those who like to see God in nature and who understand that the church's year is based on nature's cycles, this gardening guide covers the period from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday and features one plant each day to illuminate Lenten themes such as prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
The Book of Spice
Spices are rare things, at once familiar and exotic, comforting us in favourite dishes while evoking far-flung countries, Arabian souks, trade winds, colonial conquests and vast fortunes. From anise to zedoary, The Book of Spice introduces us to their properties, both medical and magical, and the fascinating stories that lie behind both kitchen staples and esoteric luxuries. John O'Connell's bite-size chapters combine insights on history and art, religion and medicine, culture and science, richly seasoned with anecdotes and recipes. Discover why Cleopatra bathed in saffron and mare's milk, why wormwood-laced absinthe caused eighteenth-century drinkers to hallucinate and how cloves harvested in remote Indonesian islands found their way into a kitchen in ancient Syria. Almost every kitchen contains a tin of cloves or a stick of cinnamon, almost every dish a pinch of something, whether chilli or cumin. Combining an extraordinary amount of research with a lifelong passion, this is culinary history at its most appetising. The Book of Spice is an invaluable reference and an entertaining read.
