Meditations
For some the Book of Heroes is a just a good story and that is all they want. That’s great.
For some of you, this book has awakened something in your spirit and you want more. This is your page! Your story. So I ask, do you want to ignite your heart by going into the Living Tale? Would you like your own seed of greatness awakened by the Gardener?
There is more to this book than meets the eye. The experiences of our friend, Henley, are available to all who meet the Gardener. On our side of the reflection, a woman named Mary met the Gardner one early morning. She was taking spices to his grave, but something unexpected happened just like it did to Henley. It forever changed her life. She found the Gardener alive and well and not dead as she believed. Yes, the Gardener is alive.
The thing I hear from readers that they like about the Gardener is that he is real, friendly, and accessible. Well, you can meet the very same Gardener as Mary and experience his real and accessible friendship too, and like Mary you may come with tears, but you will leave with joy.

Alberto and Kimberly Rivera - “Captured”
On our side of the Book we call the Gardener, Yeshua or Jesus. Does his name excite you or enrage you? If you don’t like his name, perhaps you’ve never met the real Son of God. I invite you to get in a quiet place, get comfortable, and listen to this song. Let his love fill your spirit. Ask him to reveal who he really is.

Alberto and Kimberly Rivera - “Royalty”
This meditation is for the Mrs. Bankses who are trying to raise their children to be princes and princes, but find it impossible. How do you raise royalty when you don’t believe it for yourself? How do we go from wish to reality for our children? The only way out of this mess I have found is through the Gardener. In a moment, like Henley, you can understand that he is God and that he has the power to save you from death, heal you from disease, and deliver you from torment. Only then can you point your children in the same direction. Get comfortable, get quiet, and listen to his words of love over your heart.
Meditation 3:
(this song coming soon)
Let the Holy Spirit be the driver on this song. Let him teach you how to grow closer to him as he plants you in safe places as he did Henley.

Note though, you don’t need music to hear him. Turn your heart towards him and wait in a quiet place. He wants to tell you he loves you more than you want to hear it. Need more encouragement? Check out the Character page.
