"Imagine...you hold a key in the palm of your hand. Turning it over, observe the weight of it, the designs worn to a smooth bronze through the passage of time. You walk towards a high stone wall covered with tapestries of wisteria, virginia creeper and ferns. Under the waving foliage, you can just make out the edge of a door..." You are at the beginning of a retreat, filled with self discovery, healing, and imaginative prayer. Each of the 100 devotions in this book will take you on a journey of exploration into your secret garden within. Explore the different sections of your secret garden, and encounter God through a great variety of different styles of prayer to help you enter a more intimate and connecting spiritual space. Inspiring quotes, paintings and activations accompany you throughout the retreat. As each day unfolds, themes come to life in a garden with no containment. Allow the child in you to be present, as you experience some new ways of praying with your imagination. Hold sacred in the centre of your heart, that everything you need for your unfolding journey will become available to you, one step at a time. Hear the voice of Jesus as he calls you by name, "Come into the garden..." There has never been a time like this on the earth, and you will find this devotional to be a blessed companion of comfort, healing and stress-relief, as well as an adventure of discovery in prayer.
