The Bible as a Garden is an invitation to slow down and walk through Scripture with Serena. Discover the many books, literary voices, stories, prayers, poetry, and hidden paths that make up this beautiful garden of God’s Word.

Ruminatio: meditating on Scripture is the simple, ancient practice of slowly returning to a word or phrase from the Bible until it begins to sink deeper into the heart. I discovered that I had been doing this long before I knew its name, carrying Scripture with me through walks, sleepless nights, ordinary moments, pain, and gratitude. Sometimes one little sentence is enough.

The Bible can be read in many ways. Lectio Divina is not simply one more Bible study method. It is a way of allowing Scripture to become a place of encounter with the living God who speaks, listens, reveals, challenges, comforts, and slowly changes us.
