A splendid collection of nature essays & human spirituality.

With Heaven In A Wild Flower, Vera Glenn shares the joy of growing things and what it can mean in the life of a woman. Glenn captures the life of her flowers in each season, as well as the essence of her own growth and development. Illuminating each month with inspirational anecdotes, as well as horticultural and literary insights, Heaven In A Wild Flower is a beautifully woven tapestry of life in relationship to the garden. This splendid collection of nature essays will be greatly appreciated by readers with an interest in human spirituality, growth and development, the divine in the ordinary, and what nature can nurture within the human soul.

A Beautiful Book about Life, Love, and Eternity

A Dove at the Window is a beautiful book for the soul. Vera Glenn's collection of people's personal loving encounters with heavenly visitors will give comfort to all who have lost loved ones....The book also contains many precious quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) about the life after death and the connection between heaven and earth. The mixture of personal stories and quotations are uplifting and enlightening. I recommend this book for everyone, not only because of its hopeful message, but it is a delightful adventure to read.
