Endorsements:
Anyone who has read the Bible knows how often the biblical writers talked about soil, seeds, and crops. Jesus himself spoke of vines, wheat, tares, and fields ripe for harvest. So it is a pleasure to recommend Good Ground and its author, Dr. Beth Madison, a soil scientist of the best sort! Readers will find the ground of their souls well-cultivated for growth in Christian discipleship. Dig in!

If you're looking for something new to challenge you to grow closer to Jesus, my good friend Beth Madison's book, Good Ground, is for you! I have been challenged and changed in my daily walk with Christ as I have encountered her simple and yet profound insights. She masterfully weaves together ideas from science and Scripture in ways I'd never thought of for a deeper look at our Creator and world. As a pastor, I wholeheartedly recommend this book as an excellent resource for pastors, teachers, and anyone looking for new examples to illustrate familiar Christian truths to live by. The new ideas in this book bring a fresh light to help me and my church grow closer to Jesus. I know they'll do the same for you.

For as long as I have known Beth Madison, I have felt an attraction to the faithful and loving spirit with which God has imbued her. I don't know how to express it other than to say that she shines with God's love and care for people. I am so happy to say that Beth's gifts translate easily from the person to the page. Many people will benefit from Beth's insights into how we can walk with God and experience joy in the process.
