Reforesting Faith

What Trees Teach Us About the Nature of God and His Love for Us

De: Matthew Sleeth

Narrado por: Matthew Sleeth

This groundbreaking walk through Scripture by former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case that trees reveal more about God and faith than you ever imagined.

“Christians looking to reconnect to the natural world will relish Sleeth’s passionate call to Christian stewardship of the Earth.”—Publishers Weekly

Fifteen years ago, Matthew Sleeth believed that science and logic held the answers to everything. But when tragedy struck, he opened the Bible for the first time and was surprised to find that God chose to tell the gospel story through a trail of trees.

There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. The Bible’s wisdom is referred to as a tree of life. Every major biblical character and every major theological event has a tree marking the spot. A tree was the only thing that could kill Jesus—and the only thing Jesus ever harmed.

Reforesting Faith is the rare book that builds bridges by connecting those who love the Creator with creation and those who love creation with the Creator.

Join Dr. Sleeth as he explores the wonders of life, death, and rebirth through the trail of trees in Scripture. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods—and through Scripture—will never be the same.

An inspiring, entertaining, book! Do listen

An amazing audio book read by the author. He is engaging, has a good sense of humor, and insightful stories of his life are integrated into this tree based story through the Bible. Very enriching for a Christian, or anyone really :) thank you!

I want to plant a tree

I loved this book. it was so rich theologicallly but inspiring to see this little detail in scripture have such a broad application and impact.

Reforesting Faith

Great book for audio listeners. Will listen to this one again. Always had a thing for trees now more than ever❣️

Highly Recommend This Book

Intellectual, spiritual, inspiring. There's much to consider in this book about the beauty of nature and the meaning of life and the nature of the Creator. Thank you for writing this book, Matthew. I will continue to glean from your reforested faith and will continue growing myself in the Tree of Life.

Trees...important from the beginning to the end.

I enjoyed Reforesting Faith. This book was recommended by Tim Mackie in his podcast: The Tree of Life.

God’s Trail Of Trees

I enjoyed reading God’s fondness with trees and how life takes place between the tree in Eden, the tree on Calvary, and the tree in heaven. I own the book and will continue to journey through the woods of these pages so as not to miss the forest for the trees.

Rooted in good theology. Branching my faith!

This book is one of those rare finds. It met me where I’m at and what I do. I grew up on a wooded lot and now cut and trim trees on the side. It has helped me turn my side hustle into a ministry of discipleship. I will never see and read scripture the same again. Thank you!

A more complete story

Magical. I have known the stories of the Bible all my life and totally missed the genius and significance of every part of trees marking the path of history.

The telling ignited a fire for being proactive in the conservation of the most life giving entity.

Everyone should be exposed to these ideas!

Phenomenal

This book offers a introduction to one of the most prominent themes within Jewish and Christian texts (Trees). Using a mixture of scientific literature, personal experience, and biblical references the author paints a vivid picture of mans deep rooted connection to nature. I recommend this books to Jew, Christians, and non-christians alike.

Beautiful all the way through!

I enjoyed Reforesting Faith so much I am considering listening to it again immediately after finishing it. It is a book to be treasured and followed. The wisdom contained within is great.
