In these beautifully written meditations, Vigen Guroian chronicles the course of his life, as he and his family move to a new home. Leaving the old garden behind and cultivating a new one becomes an emblem of our journey through life, marked as it is by both bitter losses and sweet new blessings. While deeply personal, The Fragrance of God vividly unfolds the great biblical themes of the grandeur of God's creation, the senses as `paths' to experiencing God, and the garden as a place of birth, death and renewal. Enriched by literary references and quotations from the church fathers, these spiritual insights will lead readers down a path of deeper understanding into creation and the Creator.
