Gardening For The Soul: The Key to New Birth of Spiritual Vitality
Humanity is looking for a solution to restore hope and purpose in life. David L. Mahan's book "Gardening For The Soul" lays out a clearly defined path to spiritual renewal resulting in purpose, peace, and hope instilled. But, as Mahan reminds us, it requires deliberate and proactive steps taken by the individual to do the work needed. Work that involves forgiveness, surrender, prayer and worship - seeking God with earnest devotion.
Through evocative verse and heartfelt reflection, East of Eden's Gate explores the cost of war-not just on nations, but on the soul of humanity. From battlefields soaked in sacrifice to quiet moments of family, faith, and personal reckoning, D.L. Mahan delivers a masterfully woven tapestry of poetry that confronts loss, resilience, and the fragile hope that binds us.
Spanning themes of conflict, reconciliation, honor, and redemption, this collection is both timeless and deeply relevant. Mahan's voice-patriotic yet pained, spiritual yet grounded-guides readers through America's historical legacy and into the personal trenches of emotional warfare. Whether reflecting on the Civil War, the scars of modern life, or the soul's silent battles, his words offer a powerful reminder: healing begins when we choose understanding over hate.
For readers of poetry, veterans, families, and seekers of truth and peace -- East of Eden's Gate is a stirring journey through the battlefield of the human spirit.
"The goal to set before us as a nation, the goal which should be set before all mankind, is the attainment of the peace of justice, of the peace which comes when each nation is not merely safe-guarded in its own rights, but scrupulously recognizes and performs its duty toward others. Generally, peace tells for righteousness; but if there is conflict between the two, then our fealty is due first to the cause of righteousness. Unrighteous wars are common, and unrighteous peace is rare, but both should be shunned. The right of freedom and the responsibility for the exercise of that right cannot be divorced. One of our great poets has well and finely said that freedom is not a gift that tarries long in the hands of cowards. Neither does it tarry long in the hands of those too slothful, too dishonest, or too unintelligent to exercise it. The eternal vigilance, which is the price of liberty must be exercised, sometimes to
guard against outside foes; although of course far more often to guard against our own selfish or thoughtless shortcomings.” Theodore Roosevelt 26th U.S. President
