{"product_id":"2940045823050","title":"I Met Him In My Overalls","description":"\u003cp\u003eJean Coleman intended to grow flowers for market in her two acre commercial garden when she moved to a farm in the country, but God had another plan: He intended to grow her! Everything pertaining to market gardening became a parable for life. Whether weeding unwanted, pesky plants or plowing the soil for row-making, Jean saw pertinent parallels for life.\u003cbr\u003eFor example, horse manure, broken egg shells and used coffee grounds, all smelly discards, when added to a compost pile, eventually decompose and become fertilizer to nourish other plants. In this process she saw the resurrection of Jesus. He takes our (useless, smelly) sins when we confess and release them to Him and offers us forgiveness and new life in return.\u003cbr\u003ePlanting provided another illustration for life. Seeds must be underground and in darkness before they emerge into the light and become what they were intended to be. So it often is with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean unzips her soul, revealing childhood shame and regrets as she relates her insights from the garden. Her prior misconceived perceptions take on a new hue as she sees life through a heavenly lens. As the gardener and tender of her flowers for the purpose of selling them in the marketplace, she acquired a new and profound realization of God’s purposes for us as the tender of our souls.\u003cbr\u003eJoin her garden journey and take a look at yourself, exploring those places that need to be composted but instead are “rotting” without ultimate purpose and good.\u003cbr\u003eSee God’s messages to us in the most ordinary of things: dirt, stems, blooms, even insects. Take a look through her viewfinder and see life with a new design. It can be life changing!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Coleman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083190550768,"sku":"2940045823050","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045823050_p0.jpg?v=1763980690","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045823050","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
