God's Existence: Truth or Fiction? The Answer RevealedBy: Gary R. Lindberg Studying the existence of God, Lindberg takes a different approach by investigating science as well as Christian research. Lindberg's unique approach suggests that both science and the Bible were created by God and as a result the two say the same thing. Lindberg's message will show that science itself proves the existence of God because of the evidence presented. About the Author Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the author's parents moved just before his seventh birthday to Santa Maria, California. There he grew up and attended grade schools up through high school. The author is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in U. S. History. Then he volunteered to join the Peace Corps for two and a half years during which he taught primary school students and teachers various techniques in a trial school gardens program in the Ivory Coast which is located in West Africa between Liberia and Ghana. He became fluent in French during that time. After his Peace Corps service, he toured Europe and primarily visited Italy, Germany (including East Berlin then under Communist control), France, England, and the Netherlands. Since he was drafted, he volunteered for the Navy in which he served for four years. Next, he went to San Francisco State University where he earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a concentration in Management and Personnel. After that he began his 43-year career as a Human Resources professional for a number of major companies including National Gypsum, Celotex, McCormick (spices), Del Monte, Quebecor Printing, and Micro Lithography, Inc.

It takes readers from the moments the author undergoes rigorous training that includes five hours of French language through his deployment, to his life amidst the Africans and adventures through different lands. Not long after his training, the author, together with others, is on the way "to a new land, new culture, new customs, and a new way of thinking." This opens an adventure in Ivory Coast that brings the author into contact with a new culture, new friends, exciting moments, and challenges. The author shares his day-to-day life with a lightness of spirit and a voice that is compelling, presenting exciting moments like learning to plant vegetables and his experience with the school garden. His adventures in East and West Africa and his contact with new cultures are revealing of what it was like to be a Peace Corps volunteer in the early years of the program.\nThis is a beautiful book and a tale that offers a captivating portrait of Africa in the 1960s. The descriptions of places like Déahouépleu —the village where the author worked— are atmospheric and detailed. Friendships are not just enlivening but expertly written to capture the pulse and life of the community. The Vegetable Grows and the Lion Roars: My Peace Corps Service is written in beautiful prose and the author's gift for storytelling melds with the excitement of adventure to deliver an enjoyable reading experience. The author's travels are brimming with discovery and moments that are both entertaining and revealing of the author's exploration of cultural dialogue. From the author's sense of setting to the excellent writing and his ability to share personal stories, this memoir transports readers to the Africa of the 1960s. It is a captivating odyssey that is littered with strong imagery and life flowing through each page, a well-crafted tale that depicts a journey of self-exploration, discovery, and adventure.\nReviewed by Daniel Rhodes Review Date: April 6, 2022\nCategory: Biographies and Memoirs\nSan Francisco Book Review 
★★★★\nPrior to reading this book, I was familiar with the Peace Corps group but honestly unsure of a lot of what they actually did. Therefore, I found this book a great introduction to the Peace Corps and the various work they partake in. I appreciated how authentic Lindberg was in his recall of both the good and bad of his service, making this book especially beneficial for someone who may be considering joining themselves. I think this book is a wonderful insight into the life of a Peace Corps volunteer.\nTheresa Kadair\nBookLife Book Review\nRatings: A-AAAA\nLindberg recounts his heartening West African adventures in the Peace Corps of the 1960s in this memoir that illuminates the service experiences of American volunteers in the Ivory Coast, running health and agricultural education programs and working to build schools and gardens, while also offering insights into the place, people, culture, and era. Powered by Kennedy-esque optimism, Lindberg—known as "Monsieur Gary" in the Ivory Coast—taught and led residents of the Gagnoa region in the cultivation of jardins scolaires, or "school gardens," a trial project created to encourage the eating of vegetables. Lindberg's efforts emphasized local favorites tomatoes, okra, and eggplant.\nDrawing on diary entries and his own copious photos, Lindberg's account provides a clear account of Peace Corps life and efforts, circa 1966, from training to teaching to implemen
