Designed for daily use as well as for retreats, Digging for God is an invitation to linger in the gardens of the Bible and the gardens of the heart. Using the passages concerning five biblical gardens, and then her own experiences distilled into poetry, Higgins provides meditative ideas and questions as springboards to prayer. For all who have labored and loved their backyard gardens, Higgins'' poems will nudge memories. For all who are, as May Sarton said, hopeful gardeners of the spirit, this volume offers fertile ground for prayer and reflection.
