Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Grace Upon Grace is not the ordinary, dry, sequential timetable of a church's history. Instead, it chronicles the spirit, caring, and love that transformed tiny Henry Church -- with its four parishioners -- into the First Presbyterian Church, Martinsville, Virginia, which has had more than 4,000 members over its 150 years. But this church history is more than names and buildings: it's the story of the people -- faithful, sincere, and true -- who filled the church with life and these pages with their individual stories. Written in an engaging narrative style, Grace Upon Grace tells true tales rich in Southern tradition, fried chicken church dinners, and undeniable spirit. The result is this amazing tapestry woven of love, dedication, determination, commitment, and grace. Minimal edgewear.

That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.
