Come to the Garden by Jennifer Wilder Morgan was a lovely Christian read about the main character, Jennifer, and her angel, Margaret. They met on her birthday in her Jennifer’s garden to talk about different experiences that Jennifer had had in her lifetime where God had been communicating and working in her life.
“All of God’s children have the ability to encounter the Divine but must have hearts and minds that are open to the possibility…Anything is possible for one who is willing to believe.” Chapter 2
Throughout the book I found important messages:
- God knew me before I was born.
- When we worship with music God joins us and rejoices.
- Talk to God like He is your friend.
- Listen to your dreams.
- Listen to His voice.
- God is the eye of the storm.
- God is always with me. There is no darkness too dark for His light to encompass.
- When God speaks, obey.
- The past, present and future are all connected.
- God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one. They are light in the darkness.
- It is the Divine will of the Father that all of His children are restored to Him.
- Death is part of life, not the end; it is our way back to our origin.
- When we don’t know what to pray our spirit does because God already know what we need.
- Heaven is right here.
- God wants to be the delight of our heart as we are the delight of His heart.
I have called you by name, you are Mine. Isaiah 43:1
This book was what I needed at this time. Something light, yet not; a reminder that I am a child of God and He is always communicating with me for His good pleasure. I chuckled a lot during the reading of this faith fiction novel but I also had a few aha moments. I really enjoyed this book.
I got this book from my sister, Jamie Holloway. You can get your own copy of Come to the Garden by Jennifer Wilder Morgan on Amazon.

Come to the Garden by Jennifer Wilder Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Have you ever considered what you would do if you came face to face with an angel in your garden? I haven’t, until I read this book. I am still not sure what I would do, but I did enjoy reading Come to the Garden by Jennifer Wilder Morgan. This book about listening to God and hearing what He has to say and learning to hear Him and be of service to him was both lighthearted and yet profound. I would recommend you read this book. It isn’t scary or too much, it is just right.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven. For anyone reading this that isn’t a Christian, unapologetically, I am a Christian, but I believe there is room for lots of beliefs and religions in the world. It is not my intent to offend people with different beliefs than I have and I would be open to open-minded conversations with no goals of changing anyone’s mind, but sharing information. If you are interested in becoming a Christian…Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this: Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world. I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me. I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
