What in life is unconquerable? What survives no matter what? On The Faithful Gardener, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Est s mines the rich storytelling tradition of her own family to unearth a series of lyrical stories that illustrate how faith is the one immortal force in our lives. What begins as a simple tale from the lips of a child becomes the greater saga of Uncle Zov r, a quiet refugee from the Nazi slave camps, and his refusal to let bitterness darken his devotion to the earth. The final story, told in the form of a vivid old country tale about that which can never die, holds an unforgettable lesson about sacrifice and spiritual regeneration.Raised by a family of refugee immigrants who revered stories as healing instruments, Dr. Est s relates these ageless tales that were first told to nourish, repair, and strengthen--whatever is most needed and wanted. The Faithful Gardener captures the spirit of a long-ago time, while deeply expressing our common desire to know that grappling with sudden and unexpected twists of fate and challenging transitions--however painful--is never in vain.… (more)

The author retells stories - from her own beautiful Creation story through her Uncle's "This Man" tales
to The Little Fir Tree, "That Which Can Never Die."

An inspiring historical classic! ( )

THE FAITHFUL GARDENER inspires us with stories that will help people keep planting and growing
and loving trees despite the interference of the world. ( )

A perfect book, small and only takes a few hours to read, while having great spiritual depth. A prayer that is included is very meaningful and inspires anyone who is down to get up, and to raise your hands to the heavens. The author describes being a child and learning from her uncle who survived World War II in Hungary. ( )

New seed
is faithful.
It roots deepest
in the places
that are
most empty.
