Rooted in Faith Devotional

For all plant moms, gardeners, and aspiring house plant enthusiasts, a 52-week devotional offering soul-care and seasonal nourishment from the beloved creator of Girl and the Word

In the Rooted in Faith Devotional, lifestyle influencer and mental health advocate Anh Lin invites you on a seasonal journey of deepening the garden of your heart and becoming more closely entwined with Jesus, the true Vine.

God designed the natural world to move through seasons, and our lives are no different. Some seasons are full of growth and abundance, while others bring painful pruning or long stretches of waiting when it feels like nothing is happening. Inspired by this imagery of seasons woven throughout Scripture, Anh created this devotional to care for the soul while offering a little practical plant wisdom along the way.

Reimagining the usual season structure, this plant-themed devotional is divided into four sections:

• Silence - inviting you to find rest and comfort in the long months of Winter, when God is still working, though He may seem quiet
• Seeking - encouraging you to discover new rhythms and opportunities for growth in the bright months of Spring, when God makes all things new
• Stamina - guiding you through the joyful yet often dry months of Summer, when God calls you to remain faithful and trust in Him
• Surrender - offering space to let go of old patterns and partner with God in the bounty of the Autumn harvest

Pairing insight from Scripture with reflection questions and a plant-based activity, and including seasonal planting tips for your physical garden, this devotional is the perfect gift for all plant moms, whether new or seasoned girls of the Word.
