For August, Soul Books Literature will be reading/studying the book The Garden Within by Dr. Anita Phillips. I started listening to the audiobook and decided I wanted to study this book so I purchased a printed copy. From the very beginning, this author had me hooked! Having a summer garden, I could easily understand the concept of comparing our hearts to a garden. Dr. Phillips uses the Bible and her knowledge of science to explain the link between our spiritual hearts and minds to our physical bodies.
I invite you to read along with the Women of Light Book Club as we read and share the revelations revealed in this book. I would like to thank Patricia H. for providing the following reading schedule:

I'm loving the garden! This month's read is absolutely amazing. Dr. Phillips explains the similarities between items of nature and organs within our body. The closer we align ourselves to God and nature the healthier our outcomes.
