Justin Wiggins's Reviews > The God of the Garden: Thoughts on Creation, Culture, and the Kingdom

This moving memoir by Andrew Peterson about his love for trees, difficult experiences in childhood, battles with depression, the tension between doubt and faith, and his journey as to how he became a musician, was incredibly inspiring.
My favorite chapter is the one called The Weeper In The Trees. I deeply resonated with his honesty about a dark night of the soul he went through, and how out of that, he found his faith to be strengthened. I appreciate the fact that he admires George MacDonald, C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien, Wendell Berry, and G.K.Chesterton. I highly recommend this book. It has given me a greater love for trees, and the maker of trees-Christ.
