Growing God – A Heartwarming Story of Faith, Patience & God's Creation
From the bestselling author of Drawing God, Karen Kiefer, comes an inspiring new adventure!
Emma, the little artist with a big heart, is back—this time, discovering God in a whole new way. After visiting her Nana’s farm, where Nana says she “grows God,” Emma returns home eager to do the same. Armed with seeds and a heart full of faith, she sets out to nurture and grow something extraordinary.
But growing God takes patience, care, and perseverance. As Emma tends to her seeds, she learns valuable lessons about trusting in God's work, even when things don’t go as planned. Through her journey, she inspires even her most skeptical friends to believe in the miracles unfolding before them.
