Praise for Humble Roots

This is an exquisite book. In Humble Roots , Hannah Anderson intends to make us gardeners to plant and tend that rarest of cultivars, humility. Humility orients us rightly toward our bodies, emotions, and intellect. It orients us rightly toward our possessions, desires, and circumstances. It orients us rightly toward the cross. And nurtured carefully in the fertile soil of grace, humility grants us a harvest of true rest. Wistful, nostalgic, and deeply wise. I read it through tears.

JEN WILKIN
Bible teacher and author of Women of the Word and None Like Him

Hannahs use of the gardening metaphor was so beautiful that I started to long for a rural home where I could can my own green beans or pick blackberries. Humble Roots is a concise invitation (without how-tos) to put off the pride of accomplishment, self-trust, and works righteousness, and enter into the humility that is not only the door to true Christianity but also the daily life of deep faith.

ELYSE M. FITZPATRICK
Author of Home: How Heaven and the New Earth Satisfy Our Deepest Longings

A beautiful, poignant, and wise book. You will see connections between Gods world and His Word that you have never noticed: between tomatoes and impatience, honey and competitiveness, soil and resurrection. And if youre anything like me, you will find yourself rejoicing.

Author of The Life We Never Expected and Unbreakable

Hannah Anderson takes being a locavore even more seriously than farm-to-table restaurants and farmers market goers. She takes it to the most local place of all: our own hearts. This is the book Ive been wanting on the shelves of Christians everywhere.

LORE FERGUSON WILBERT

God made us to be close to the ground. So its fitting that Hannah Anderson roots her clear and compassionate teaching in stories close to the ground. The result is nourishment for our souls. Anderson replants us in the Fathers provision, wisdom, and care.

Author of A Womans Place

C. S. Lewis famously wrote that humility is not thinking less of ourselves; rather, it is thinking of ourselves less, and in such a way that frees us to redirect our energies toward God and those He has given us to love. Using one of Gods favorite places and metaphors, the garden, coupled with endearing and sometimes humbling anecdotes from her own life story, Hannah paints a compelling picture of why we should, and ways that we can, pour contempt on our pride. Please read this book. It will renew your perspective, and it could change your life.

Hannah has written a simple but profound book. Her earthy style of writing accents the deep truths of Scripture in a way that is accessible to those of us who most need to hear this message. I predict this book will become a classic on the subject.

This is just the kind of book I love: readers are promised a mealand Humble Roots delivers a feast. With serious biblical reflection and vivid storytelling, Hannah Anderson compels us to seek humility. Rooted in Jesus, we abandon our illusions of control; we embrace our limits; we learn to depend.

JEN POLLOCK MICHEL
Author of Teach Us to Want, Christianity Today s 2015 Book of the Year

Humble Roots is soulful spirituality at its bestearthy, embodied, and energizing. Anderson beckons us to reconsider both the rhythms of Gods creation and the frantic pace of our lives. The gospel brings reconciliation of all things in heaven and earth. This includes our God-formed bodies to the land God created for us.

I can think of nothing that might fix what ails this increasingly chaotic, power-hungry world more than a dose of humility and deeper rootedness. Whether youre a city slicker, a suburban dweller, or a country bumpkin, these true parableslovely memories of rural life seasoned with sharp insightswill hit you right where you live.
