Book Review of The Cross Gardener

The Cross Gardener
reviewed on


Really odd little book. Didn't care for it at all. Totally unbiblical. This book is about a man who has had more than his share of sorrow and about a weird character called the Cross Gardener who goes about painting roadside crosses and Philosophizing about life. Warning spoiler...the Cross Gardener turns out to be his infant son who died at birth and comes back as a mature man to guide him through the grieving process. His "son" also tells him about the people he loved who have died in the past. He tells how some died and what their last thoughts were and who met them on the other side. He says that the "son's" mother who also died at the same time he did was in heaven teaching those who didn't get to know God on earth all about Him. Also seems to imply that everyone is going to heaven eventually. This was a weird book. When I finished I thought "New Age meets Christianity". Did a little research on google and found out why our doctrines are so far apart. Mr.Wright is a mormon.
