You were born to do something more--something in addition to being a spouse, parent, and employee or business owner or perhaps you're approaching adulthood and wondering what unique DNA God has given you to do what He knows is the best path for your life and mission on earth.

Mary, Dear Mary (What's Growing in Your Garden?) began as a poem written a few months after becoming a widow for the second time--a season that naturally required prayer and thought about the future. It is a spin off the nursery rhythm, "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, How Does Your Garden Grow?" that encourages us to select carefully the seeds we plant in life so the garden we grow flourishes with goodness and blessing for all.

As you read Mary, Dear Mary, you will immediately fall in love with Gail's open, honest, real-life stories that reveal her beautiful heart. You'll find a new friend that deeply cares about you and the story God is writing in your life.

Her book is full of touching true stories and powerful pointers to encourage you to grow through whatever season you find yourself in today. For example, I love the way Gail asks us, "Keep your God-glasses on so you can detect His fingerprints as He leaves traces for you to see where He is working."

Friend, you are holding a blessing!
