In the Valley I Found My Garden: Beside Still Waters is a journey through Psalm 23 as you've never seen it-unbound from one religion, widened through many, and illuminated by the valleys named in mental health. This is not a memoir. It is a pilgrimage. A walk through the shadowed places where Scripture, world faiths, and psychology all whisper the same truth: every soul knows the valley, and every valley hides a garden. From Christianity's psalms to Judaism's exile, from Islam's surrender to Hinduism's dharma, from Buddhism's suffering to Indigenous ceremony, this book follows the Shepherd's path across traditions-listening for the echoes of still waters in every language. And woven through these global valleys are the ones named by the mind: grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, the diagnoses carried quietly by millions. Each one becomes a landscape with its own seeds, soil, shadows, thorns, and bloom. Through the symbols of the lotus, the lily, and the rose, Charli Garcia traces how: - the lotus rises from muddy waters - the lily survives in the shadows - the rose blooms with both tenderness and thorn This book is for seekers. For wanderers. For anyone who has ever asked where God is in the dark, or whether belonging can be found beyond the borders of one tradition. It is a map for those who walk with questions. A lantern for those who walk with diagnoses. A companion for those who walk with faith that doesn't fit the mold. In the Valley I Found My Garden is a testament that the valley is not the end- it is the beginning. The place where truth widens, where compassion deepens, where still waters rise, and where the garden finally blooms. Walk the valley. Follow the Shepherd across every tradition. Find the garden waiting in the shadows
