Reforesting Faith

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

By: Matthew Sleeth

Narrated by: 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!

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.
