Wheat from Heaven: The Gospel Guarded in a Seed is a mystical, human, and deeply spiritual journey through the stages of the Kingdom of God within the soul, narrated through the living metaphor of wheat. Each chapter delves into a dimension of the natural process of wheat-from its sowing to its conversion into bread-and intertwines it with experiences of faith, discernment, and mission. Topics addressed include silent waiting, growth alongside weeds, the manipulation of the sacred, the purity of the Gospel, pain as grinding, and the Eucharist as fullness. Inspired by the Scriptures, the Church Fathers, mystics, and the experiences of the praying soul, this book proposes not only to understand the Kingdom... but to let it grow within. It is an invitation to return to the essential, to the true, to what truly nourishes. Because the Kingdom is not always seen... but it is always growing.
