Back to Eden Gardens

April 18, 2012 by Amy

backtoeden

I saw this film called Back to Eden on Facebook from a gal at church and then her husband recommended it to me on Twitter.  I finally caved to the social media pressure and watched (TY Tyler and Ashley!).  I have to say, it is one of the best things I’ve seen.  I know it’s just the PMS, but the darn thing made me cry.

Everything rang so true to me…God speaking so clearly through nature, God providing “a covering” (I mean, could it BE any more obvious that it points to Christ?), the reasoning behind GMO plants, how our food is connected to our health problems, how we try to fix things and make them complicated when God made things so simple.  I could just go on and on.  I just loved how Paul truly connected gardening to God and the proof of his garden cannot be denied.  I have never seen vegetables like he pulled out of his garden. And the fact that he does not till or water his garden is just unbelievable.  And to top it all off he gives freely out of his garden and does not sell any of it. It really makes me want to take a trip to Washington STAT.  Well, actually, it makes me want to go find some wood chips STAT.

Whether you garden or not, you need to watch this film.  It’s long but I promise you’ll be blessed.  I’d embed it here but it won’t let me so hop over to the site.

      It’s so good and has a lot of nuggets throughout the film even though parts of it gets a little technical.
