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.… (més)
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."
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. ( )

I am certain that as we stand in the care of this faithful force, that what has seemed dead is dead no longer, what has seemed lost, is no longer lost, that which some have claimed impossible, is made clearly possible, and what ground is fallow is only resting--resting and waiting for the blessed seed to arrive on the wind with all Godspeed. And it will.
