Garden of Emotions Dianne Iivari

A Unique Book of Divinely Inspired Encouragement

This book, the first in a series, lists a variety of emotions, with full-color watercolor paintings augmenting the scriptures chosen--peaceful beautiful reminders of God's presence to meet every need.

It makes a perfect coffee table gift book, helping readers remember that God's word is as relevant to their lives today as ever. It would be the perfect gift for someone who is facing adversity. Or it can serve as a source of devotional readings, a simple yet profound approach--creative art combined with Creator words--reminding readers daily of the truth of Hebrews 4:12, "For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."

"I wanted to give colorful, visual depictions of emotions and biblical texts that relate to them," the author said. "I trust that readers will feel more peaceful and tranquil as a result of reflecting on what they find in the pages of this book."
