Synopsis Our Lady's Garden of Roses by : William Harvey
Some years ago, a priest came to our parish, St. John of the Cross. We were having some prayer service, and we were saying the rosary. He would say a brief meditation before each Hail Mary bead and then he would say the Hail Mary. This lasted a few decades and was the seed that the Lord planted in my mind. Little did I know it would come to fruition in this book of meditation on the holy rosary the Holy Spirit was inspiring me to write. Unlike the other meditations that were placed before each decade and by the time one has said half of the decade, the idea of the meditation was forgotten. This, on the other hand, was constantly being read to keep focused on that particular decade being prayed. So how is the story of the rosary being recalled? By the keeping in mind each division as it in turn presents itself. These divisions being: Joyful, Illuminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious. By keeping all these in mind, we are bringing to mind how all of this happened for our salvation. By having the meditation before each Hail Mary, the whole picture of that decade is being constantly built up until the decade is completed. This tends to keep one's mind on his prayers and not to wander aimlessly. Thus, the whole story of our redemption is set before the one praying the rosary. This all started with the Redeemer, promised in the garden of Eden, and whose coming was kept alive all through the Old Testament, finally came to our world in the womb of the Virgin; thus, the Joyful Mysteries. It describes his living among us in the little house of Nazareth. It does not give all the details of his early life in helping his foster father, Joseph, in the carpenter shop. We wonder if he performed any acts of wonder when he played with his little playmates. He comes to focus again when he starts his ministry of our salvation: the Illuminous Mysteries. He goes to where John is baptizing at the River Jordan. Here the blessed Trinity is first exposed to the world and the story goes all through the Mysteries of Light which culminates at the last supper where he offers his life in the form of bread and wine for his people and then lays it down on the cross for all the world to see. In the Sorrowful Mysteries, we see this was the second chance for the sons of Adam to partake of the fruit from the tree of life, and a reminder that Adam and Eve neglected this fruit in the garden of Eden and chose instead to eat the fruit from the tree of evil or death. Thus, did Jesus go through all the torments of his passion culminating in his death on the tree of the cross for the life of us all. Next, the Glorious Mysteries tell of our Redeemer's victory over death and to lead his people, the Church which is his bride, to be with him forever. He and his mother, Mary, preceded us into the kingdom of Heaven to live the life he earned for his body the Church forever. This is the story of our salvation. It started back in the Old Testament, kept alive all through those times until he came "to do the will of him who sent him." This is the glorious story of our redemption. It is placed before us every time we "tell" our beads. That's what telling our beads really means. Remember this the next time you pray your rosary. Heaven is watching you.

Synopsis How to Read an English Garden by : Andrew Eburne
Richard Taylor, author of the best-selling How to Read a Church, joins forces with garden historian Andrew Eburne to produce the ultimate guide to historic and modern gardens. Gardens are amongst the fastest-growing visitor attractions today - in the UK alone 15 million people will visit a garden this year. How to Read an English Garden is the essential book for every garden lover. It provides an account of the different elements of gardens of all ages and explains their meaning and their history: here, you'll find the answer to such questions as: when were tulips introduced into our gardens, and what was 'tulip-mania'? What is a knot-garden, and what was the origin of its design? Who was 'Capability' Brown, and how did he get his name? Why are mazes such a common feature in English garden design? In addition, the book explains how lawns, flowerbeds, trees and ponds came to be a feature not just of grand houses but of gardens everywhere. Among the many subjects covered are: garden design, plant introductions and collectors, kitchen gardens, water gardens, and garden styles from around the world: English, American, Chinese and Moorish to name just a few. Clearly laid out and beautifully illustrated, How to Read an English Garden brings historic and modern gardens to life: a book to accompany garden visitors everywhere, or to be enjoyed and dipped into at home.

Synopsis Our Lady of Babylon by : John Rechy
“A funny, sexy, stylistically elegant, tongue-in-cheek rewriting of history” from the New York Times–bestselling author of City of Night (Booklist). A retelling of the stories of the fallen women of history, recounted by an eighteenth-century lady who realizes that these women’s lives bear a remarkable resemblance to her own. Told by a mystic that her dreams are memories of past lives, she must face the public to vindicate all women falsely accused of crimes. “Mr. Rechy’s renditions of these seemingly familiar stories can . . . be surprisingly fresh, creating an ominous sense of tragedy and doom.” —The New York Times Book Review “With a colorful ribbon of feminist revisionism festooning its New Age wrapping, Rechy’s latest novel indulges in past-life grandiosity and some scandalous speculation about the erotic lives of Adam, Medea and Jesus, among others.” —Publishers Weekly “Subversive and quite funny . . . A fictional absolution of women known historically as ‘whores’ . . . framed by a deadly serious look at erotic history and a formidable exploration of the power of words and their interpretation to alter our existence.” —Booklist “Rechy writes gracefully, and sometimes poignantly, of the fate of fallen women over the centuries.” —The Washington Post

Synopsis Quiet Gardens by : Susan Bowden-Pickstock
Quiet Gardens is an exploration of horticulture as a medium for meaning and for spirituality. In an increasingly secular age when absolute values are taboo, political correctness reigns supreme, and our lives orbit Planet Consumer, we need experiences to balance the emphasis on material acquisitions. Internationally, tensions are running high in the global village and environmental issues are at the top of the agenda. The shadow of terrorism emphasises ideological differences, but it also draws together those living underneath it: inter-faith and ecological conversations have become necessities rather than luxuries. In this climate, with the yearning for experience and our new understanding of collective responsibility, the spiritual dimension can flourish; but the desire to pursue the spiritual manifests itself, not in traditional or institutionalised religion but in new ways. This book describes a journey that seeks to re-investigate mankind's relationship with nature and, through this, an understanding of what is spiritual. The Bible begins with the story of creation and of God walking with the man and the woman in the garden in the cool of the day. For many, enjoying and/or making a garden is both a connection with the wider environment and a link to that which is beyond ourselves, and the book includes a section on the Christian charity, the Quet Garden Trust, featuring some of its unusual and remarkable gardens. From conversations with three leading garden thinkers and creators (Charles Jencks, Beth Chatto and Sir Roy Strong), the journey takes us on a path of exploration and discovery, via Buddhist, Ba'hai and Islamic gardens, to the making of an inter-faith garden which won a medal at the Chelsea Flower Show. It shows us that the relationship between meaning, spirituality and horticulture transcends cultural and religious differences and offers hope for the future.
