Episode Synopsis "Chapter 4- The Nourishment of the Word"

In a world of instant gratification, this book calls its readers to see the Christian life as more of a marathon than a sprint. In the same way a bonsai artist cultivates an environment that allows a small tree to become a work of art, this book suggests practices that will nurture the soil of the heart and facilitate spiritual growth. Originally written as a follow-up resource for a youth camp, this simple book is a great resource for new Christians and those who have been on the journey of faith for years!
