    About this audiobook

    The Bible talks about trees more than any living creation other than people. Perhaps you've missed the forest...and the trees.

    In this groundbreaking walk through Scripture, former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case why trees are essential to every Christian's understanding of God.

    Yet we've mostly missed how God has chosen to tell his story — and ours — through the lens of trees. There's a tree on the first page of Genesis and the last page of Revelation. The Bible refers to its wisdom as a tree of life (Proverbs 3:18). Every major Biblical character has a tree associated with them. Jesus himself says he is the true vine (John 15:1). A tree was used to kill Jesus — and a tree is the only thing the Messiah ever harmed.

    This is no accident. When we subtract trees from Scripture, we miss lessons of faith necessary for our growth.

    This is the rare work that connects those who love the creator with creation and those who love creation with the creator. It offers inspirational yet practical ways to express our love for God — and our neighbors — by planting spiritual trees and physical trees in the world.

    Join Dr. Sleeth as he navigates the Bible's trail of trees to explore the wonders of life, death, and rebirth. You'll be amazed at how science is just beginning to catch up to the truths described in Scripture thousands of years ago. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods — and through Scripture — will never be the same.

      In this book, Dr. Sleeth caused me to appreciate and learn even more the amazing features and characteristics of trees, as well as understand more of God's value in them too.
