Resumen del Editor

A flourishing, fulfilling life is possible—no perfection required!

Too many of us think we have to have it all together in order to live a meaningful life. Instead of feeling put together, we end up feeling inadequate, overwhelmed, and exhausted as we try to figure out how to do it all.

Author, business owner, and mom to three Lara Casey has been there, too. In Cultivate, she offers this grace-filled advice: we can't do it all and do it well, but we can choose to cultivate what matters.

Written as part encouragement anthem and part practical guide, Cultivate offers wisdom from God's Word alongside lessons Lara has learned in her own life—and in her garden—giving you the tools you need to:

• Discern what matters most to you
• Embrace the season of life that you're in
• Find the joy and freedom that comes with cultivating what matters

Let Lara be your guide as you learn to cultivate what matters, little by little, with the help of God's transforming grace.

Praise for Cultivate:

"Cultivate is rich soil for the soul! Whether you are a new sprout, just beginning to brave life in the light; a tender shoot fighting for space among rocks and weeds; or a mature plant in need of nurture and pruning, this book will help you thrive. With her characteristic honesty, humility, and patience, Lara Casey uses her spiritual 'green thumb' to gently nudge us toward an intentional life of godliness and growth. If you are ready for a new season of spiritual growth, dig into Cultivate and get ready to bloom!"

—Elizabeth Laing Thompson, author of When God Says "Wait"

Needs editing

There are so many places that should have been edited out but were left. It's a good message, just poorly edited.

Great!

Great encouragement to lead a better life. Also, it sure makes me look at gardening in a new light!
The way it was read kinda reminds me of being in a seminar. That's not a bad thing, it just seemed like a list of lessons at times, and like I needed to take notes. :-)

Cultivate sows seeds of grace, intentionality, and "peace in our mess" in those who read it!

This book is inspired! Thank you to Lara Casey for sharing her life, her story, and the lessons that God has taught her; so that seeds of grace, intentionality, and "peace in our mess" could be sown into the lives of others! Cultivate has a beautiful balance and flow that makes introducing sometimes challenging ideas into your world, a little easier to swallow. If you have dreams and desires that you have yet to see fulfilled (whether bubbling just under the surface or hidden deep within), this book can help guide you to walking out God's plan for you in a purposeful way that brings Him glory. Definitely a must read (listen)!

Loved it!

It was an amazing book. So many thought provoking questions. I listened to a few chapters a couple of times because of how it hit home so well.

Great Book, imperfect audio editing :/

Overall Lara Casey performance is great, but the editor of her performance was not thorough. Sometimes you hear the author say “can we start that again?” Or “oh sorry” after a stumble of words and the final version of the line is just either missing or appears right behind the “imperfect” version. Great book, but messy editing. Check your work Audible...I bought the kindle version to follow along because I felt I may not have gotten the whole book.

deep drive into the speed hampered life

good book. this book helped me walk through some misconception and barriers I had in my life. I will be living with intention and cultivating what last and what matters.

Inspiring and friendly!

Like an honest, hopeful conversation with a friend over coffee to make fruitful life changes

Probably better on paper.

Where does Cultivate rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the first "self help" book I have listened to through Audible. It has a bit of a workbook, question?reflection component to it that was hard to interpret through the Audible version.

What did you like best about this story?

I did glean a few nuggets that made it worth the price. The biggest AHA moment was when Lara was talking about the sentiment many moms carry when they feel like they are the only ones who do much of the housework. She suggested that a shift in attitude from 'I HAVE to do this and that and such.' to "I GET to' serve my family in this way. I am lucky enough to have dishes to do. I am blessed enough to have so much laundry and a home that needs to be cleaned. It was a really impactful comment to me in this season of my life.

Such a life breathing book!

Inspiring, life breathing, encouraging! Such beautiful words! Can't wait to read it again for a small group soon! And can't wait to cultivate a beautiful life!

wonderful

This book came along right when I needed it. I highly recommend it. I am now going to listen to it again. I feel like she was speaking my language.
