SNEAK PEEK: REFORESTING FAITH by Matthew Sleeth, MD

November 27, 2018

Read the first two chapters of Reforesting Faith.

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 itself 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.

Book Trailer: 9 COMMON LIES CHRISTIANS BELIEVE by Shane Pruitt

November 27, 2018

Maybe God isn’t who you think He is. Maybe He’s better.

In Nine Common Lies Christians Believe, Shane tackles popular one-liners that have wormed their way into our Christian vernacular, including “God gained another angel,” “Follow your heart,” and “God just wants me to be happy.” As Shane reminds us, when we move past religious jargon and the catchphrases of cultural Christianity, we can focus [ … ]
