I told my kids to clean their room. Two hours later, it looked worse. So I sat down on the floor beside them and started cleaning with them. And within minutes, I saw the problem: they could not tell the difference between the toys and the mess. But the moment I was in the room doing it with them, they began to see what I was seeing. That evening I realized something that has not left me since: the room was never going to get clean without me in it. Life in the Garden is a book about what happens when you stop trying to clean up your life alone and let God back into the room. It is about shame-free conviction, durable faith, identity, fear, dreaming, and the present Father who never left.
