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.

Rooted and Rising is for everyone who worries about the climate crisis and seeks spiritual practices and perspectives to renew their capacity for compassionate, purposeful, and joyful action. Leah Schade and Margaret Bullitt-Jonas gather twenty-one faith leaders, scientists, community organizers, theologians, and grassroots climate activists to offer wisdom for fellow pilgrims grappling with the weight of climate change. Acknowledging the unprecedented nature of our predicament—the fact that climate disruption is unraveling the web of life and threatening the end of human civilization—the authors share their stories of grief and hope, fear and faith. Together, the essays, introductory sections, and discussion questions reveal that our present crisis can elicit a depth of wisdom, insight, and motivation with power to guide us toward a more peaceful, just, and Earth-honoring future. With a foreword by Mary Evelyn Tucker and a special introduction by Bill McKibben, the book presents an interfaith perspective that welcomes and challenges readers of all backgrounds.

What reader audience is this book intended for? Well, if you are not sure whether God exists or whether He loves you, or if you have lost your way and have fallen away from God and would like to return to Him, or if you have struggled to grow in holiness and have not made much progress, then this book will definitely help you get started on your journey back home where you belong - as a member of God's family. One important group of people can benefit from reading this book, and that is, atheists! Yes, because I was an atheist from age 18 to 24 while studying High Energy Physics at the University of Toronto in Canada. Then after a restless period of searching for the meaning of life when science started to let me down, I turned in desperation and asked God that if He really existed, to show me a sign in 48 hours. In less than 24 hours, God answered me in a dream. That was over 33 years ago, and my life has never been the same since. Your life too can take a turn for the better if you trust what I am going to share with you in the pages of this book. The major ideas and teachings in this book are based on three private revelations of God to the author, and I can take no credit for them. They were were revealed to me during the intense periods of searching, praying, and earnestly asking God for the solutions to crises in my life. God always answers our prayers in crisis situations if we beg Him for solutions to our dilemmas. Making it to heaven from life on this earth is not easy but can be attained by anyone who desires it. Isn't an eternity in heaven with God, all the angels and all the saints, worth putting our best effort forward? Come with me of this journey as I reveal to you The Key, The Door, and The Garden that will help you get started on your journey toward heaven.

Embrace the call to live differently on this fragile planet. As temperatures rise, natural disasters wreak devastation, and precious species die off one by one, we know we must change how we live in the world. But how? What would it look like if we took seriously the biblical charge to live more peacefully and gently on our fragile planet, if we understood ourselves as neighbors in a community of creation? Rooted Faith explores the future of the church called to live differently—one of reinhabiting our particular landscapes and confronting the assumptions of consumer culture head-on through our lives and actions. Drawing on Scripture, Christian history, and practical theology, author Sarah Renee Werner invites readers into a new way of seeing ourselves in relationship with the rest of creation. She offers tangible practices for opening up our hearts to both the beauty and tragedy around us and guides us toward meaningful action to restore creation. There has never been a more crucial moment to reclaim this overlooked aspect of our faith as we seek to live differently—live well—on this fragile planet.

"God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good." —Genesis 1:31 As an emergency room doctor, Matthew Sleeth saw a disturbing increase in asthma, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and other environmentally related health issues. Although he considered himself an environmentalist, he lacked the commitment to do anything about it. One slow night in the ER, Sleeth picked up a Gideon's Bible in the waiting room. Although raised in a Christian home, he had long ago abandoned his childhood beliefs. Reading the gospels that night, Sleeth became a Christian, and to his shock, he began to uncover in the Scriptures an enormous wealth of environmental answers that he had been seeking. As a result, his family took an account of their lifestyle, drastically reduced their reliance on electricity and fossil fuels, and began sharing their inspirational journey with others. Here, Sleeth invites you on his family's journey as they realize that one cannot be a Christian without recognizing the Bible's call to care for God's creation. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is filled with instructions on how we can demonstrate our love for the Creator by caring for the earth. Sleeth leads us on a highly creative journey through Scripture, visiting some of the most important characters in the Bible and discovering what they can teach us about issues such as stewardship, caring for our neighbors, climate change, and pollution. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden teach us the importance of physical work in relation to discovering fulfillment and a sense of human purpose, the prophet Daniel calls us to question our dietary habits, and the story of Noah addresses key issues for life on earth: how do we relate to the Creator, to others in the human community, and to the rest of the natural world? With passion and faith, Sleeth provides a new green lens through which we can read the Bible to discover answers to our biggest questions about the environment and how to care for it.

These studies guide you through the storyline of Scripture-each following a person, place, or thing in the Bible. Maybe you are practiced in dissecting a passage and pulling things out of the text to apply to your life. But now you may feel as though your faith is fragmented. The Storyline Bible studies help you put the pieces back together. You’ll discover cohesive, thematic storylines with literary elements and appreciate the Bible as the masterpiece that it is. Each study is five weeks long and can be paired with its thematic partner for a seamless ten-week study to fit in a church semester. Every study features: Gospel presentation at the beginning of each Bible study Full Scripture passages included in the study so that you can mark up the text and keep your notes in one place Insights from female scholars and scholars of color Free resources for preaching and leading small groups Every tree, bush, or vine in the Bible is deeply embedded in an ancient, symbolic-driven world where imagery of the story didn’t just matter—it had meaning. The Sticks Bible study will guide you through five Bible stories where trees point us to how we can seek godly wisdom and make hard choices that honor God. In Sticks, we’re going to explore Genesis 2–3, where the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil show us how to choose wisely and not to take matters into our own hands; Exodus 3, where the Burning Bush helps us choose to notice when God is trying to get our attention; Isaiah 1, 6, 11, 53, where the Messiah Tree helps us choose to branch out from our shady family trees; John 15, where the True Vine teaches us how to choose to stay connected to Jesus for a fruitful life; and Revelation 22, where the Tree of Life helps us to choose to reframe our views from the treetops.
