WELCOME
TO J APPLESEED & CO
During the early 1800s, the itinerant nurseryman named John
Chapman criss-crossed thousands of miles planting apple orchards
from the Ohio River to the Great Lakes. His unique worldly activity
together with a singularly spiritual personality gave genesis
to the legends of Johnny Appleseed (see Johnny
Appleseed History).
He loved his life's work. Its spiritual inspirations came to
him through his less well known cargo: the writings of Emanuel
Swedenborg (see Johnny's Religion).
Along with his appleseeds, he deposited Swedenborg books throughout
the Midwest for forty years.
Today, we seek to expand the spiritual orchard that Johnny planted
by offering a variety of Spiritual Growth Literature and music
including CDs, books
and pamphlets based on Swedenborgian
Spirituality. |

A
Message from the Publisher
Swedenborg Spirituality Affirms Life. Our hearts are with
the many victims of violence throughout the world wherever
human beings oppress human beings. Johnny Appleseed's
life and spirituality centered in life affirmation, and
he went to great lengths to avoid violence. He was known
as a courageous peacemaker between cultures often in conflict.
As we seek to do our part, may God's spirit touch and
guide the spirits in all of us as we move forward into
this new era to meet the challenge of sharing the earth
harmoniously.
