I listened to the audiobook of Rooted. Murray Pura is a passionate writer and story-teller. It was a pleasure to listen to this book – a book to get back to again. I love gardens and enjoy Gods beautiful creation, so I was really looking forward to hear what the author had to share about this. I found out that this book is much more than only a talk about the major gardens in the Bible. It shows so much of God’s love for us. It touches the hard things in life like sin and suffering, but it also offers hope and promise for the future.
Murray Pura is an artist who paints with words – he creates the most beautiful sceneries. His books are a true pleasure to read and this audiobook a joy to listen to.
Murray's book can be purchased through Amazon, at CBD, also available through Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores.
GIVEAWAY: Carrie is giving away a hardcover copy of Rooted to one of the commenters today. Leave a comment and your email for a chance to win.
