Jason Wright is a delightful storyteller, and this book did not fail to keep drawing me back - right to the end. This is a book about loss and finding oneself, and answers to deep questions that arise in the midst of grief. John Bevin began his life as an orphan. He knew loss, but he also had been given the gift of the love of an earthly father, even if that father wasn't his own flesh and blood. John experienced profound loss several more times before he met the Cross Gardener. Who was this stranger who made his way into John's life? Was he a man from the village? An angel? A special messenger from God? Like in his other books, Jason Wright weaves into this story glimpses into the spiritual world and things human eyes can't see on their own. Sometimes we need a little guidance seeing that spiritual world. The Cross Gardener was John's guide. I can't speak to how theologically correct this story is, but it provides great food for thought. And comfort for those who've known loss.
