About this listen

 Meet a woman who redesigns her garden in response to God’s redesign of her life. Meet a man who wants to laugh with his family more often. Watch a mother and daughter connect in new ways. Observe a grandmother entering into her grandson’s home with encouragement and hope. Listen to the stories of people who are trying to figure out what their gifts are and how they can serve and grow. Set in Washington State, Oregon, London and Switzerland, the short stories in this collection are slices of everyday life on the pathway of self-discovery and spiritual growth. Review The stories in A Garden of Living Water are about struggle, discovery and grace. Grace often comes clothed in a friend’s willingness to listen and to risk speaking the truth with sensitivity. Lynne Baab’s faith reverberates through these stories. God does not come like a genie from a bottle, granting wishes. Yet God abides in the nexus among friends and lovers, and in each narrative’s trajectory of hope. —Carol Simon, author of Bringing Sex into Focus: The Quest for Sexual Integrity A back-yard garden, a new dress, a patchwork quilt, ordinary items from ordinary lives, except in the deft hands of author Lynne Baab. In the stories that make up this collection, the things of everyday life become the point of intersection for our deepest longings and God's faithful presence. It is rare to come across stories that capture both daily life and faith in God with the same level of intimacy and ring of truth. —Douglas Early, author of Abide in Me: Being Fully Alive in Christ Lynne Baab has always been one of my favorite theology and spirituality teachers, but now she is also a favorite short-storyteller. In this volume, Lynne depicts a whole variety of people and places – all on the cusp of discovery. Who to be. How to interact with others. Where to invest time and talent. Get to know the folks in Lynne's Garden and take away truth and inspiration to help your own life. —Lucinda Secrest McDowell, author of Dwelling Places In these captivating short stories Lynne Baab, a seasoned writer on topics of Christian spirituality, introduces us to people who are growing. Many of these characters are women who are wondering what will be next for them. Their discernment is aided by friendships of various kinds – with God, with husbands, children, parents, and friends. One of the women in the stories, standing on the cusp of new life, is counseled by a friend that "it’s a question of creation. Each of us was created by a loving God for supportive relationships and creative work." That faith permeates this book, bringing healing and hope to characters and readers alike. —Susan Phillips, author of The Cultivated Life As with Lynne’s other fictional writings, these short stories are not only a compelling read, they are both thought-provoking and inspirational. Lynne has a real gift for dealing with some of life’s very real, but seldom confronted realities – such as grief, past hurts, loneliness, and belonging – in an honest, gentle and therapeutic manner. —Clare Ayers, Life & Business Coaching, Christchurch, New Zealand Lynne Baab’s heartfelt and encouraging stories about women searching for meaning, yearning toward authenticity, and navigating family relationships and friendships are sure to resonate with anyone who’s wrestling with the perennial questions Who Am I? and Why Am I Here? Perhaps the most encouraging part of this collection is Lynne’s closing letter to readers, in which we hear how she wrote these stories out of her own struggle to discern her calling and purpose—and then get to see her 20 years later, with a Ph.D. and 16 books under her belt! —K. C. Ireton, author of Circle of the Seasons and Cracking Up About the Author Lynne M. Baab is the author of many Christian books, Bible study guides and novels, including Sabbath Keeping, Fasting and The Power of Listening. Visit her website: www.lynnebaab.com.
