The Cross Gardener
The Cross Gardener | Jason F. Wright
5 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
From the New York Times bestselling author, an inspiring story of life, love, and moving on. Married and the father of a young daughter, John Bevan had finally found the traditional family he lacked as an orphaned child. But all that disappears when a fatal car accident steals away his wife-and the unborn child she carried. Filled with sorrow, John withdraws from life and love. He erects a small cross at the scene of his wife's accident and visits daily, grieving. Then one morning he encounters a young man kneeling before the cross, touching it up with white paint. John's conversations and travels with this mysterious man-known to him only as the Cross Gardener-will forever change his world. From Jason F. Wright comes a timeless tale that explores the questions we ask when our lives are touched by loss: How do we carry on? And who will show us the way? The answers John Bevan finds illuminate the hope that even in our darkest hours we are not alone.

This one gets its own post because it‘s for both #24b4Monday and #bookfitnesschallenge #bfc

This was such a beautiful book. It was heartbreaking and deeply healing in equal measure. Even though it was fictional, it struck on some very real themes in an honest and inspiring way. It was a short and wonderful religious book that is worth the read!

VanChocStrawberry I wish I could do the readathon this weekend, but they add stress for me (even though I have fun), so I made myself promise not to participate in any until after the school year. I‘ll enjoy reading others‘ posts. 5y

bewareofwords @VanChocStrawberry That‘s very understandable! I know I get stressed about reading goals sometimes. It‘s so much better to go at your own pace and let reading be a happy experience. :) Whenever you‘re ready to join in with a challenge, you‘re welcome! (edited) 5y
