**Plants of the Bible, the book

This is my first book about plants of the Bible. It contains the sixty second scripts I recorded for KBVM-FM 88.3 Portland OR; plus a number of color photos. The scripts are read at random every day on KBVM. It has 92 pages compared to Your Garden, Your Eden which has 313 pages, therefore the latter is everything you need to know about Bible plants.

Plants of the Bible scripts include a pertinent Scripture passage and sometimes a brief message regarding the plant. For example:

Almond

As the first tree to flower before the end of Israel’s winter, the almond in ancient days symbolized the hastening of events. It is indeed the herald of spring. In Hebrew, the root word means “to be alert”, “to be on the lookout”. This warning is appropriate in the Book of Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 11 where the prophet speaks in the first person:

“The word of the LORD came to me:

  ‘What do you see, Jeremiah?’

‘I see the branch of an almond tree,’ I replied.”

If you plan to grow an almond tree, be sure to ask at the nursery if the plant has been adapted to your climate.

God was alerting Jeremiah to the upcoming demise of Israel and that he shouldn’t be alarmed, it is God’s plan. The almond tree is a sign to be alert, to watch for spring and just maybe God’s plan for you.
