There’s a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They both come from dirt. They’re both told to bear fruit. In fact, arboreal language is so often applied to humans that it’s easy to miss, whether we're talking about family trees, passing along our seed, cutting someone off like a branch, being rooted to a place, or bearing the fruit of the Spirit. It’s hard to deny that trees mean something, theologically speaking.
This book is in many ways a memoir, but it’s also an attempt to wake up the listener to the glory of God shining through his creation. One of the first commands to Adam and Eve was to “work and keep” the garden. Award-winning author and songwriter Andrew Peterson, being as honest as possible, shares a story of childhood, grief, redemption, and peace by walking through a forest of memories: “I trust that by telling my story, you’ll encounter yours. Hopefully, like me, you’ll see that the God of the Garden is and has always been present, working and keeping what he loves.” Sometimes he plants, sometimes he prunes, but in his goodness he intends to reap a harvest of righteousness.

The author beautifully captures the majesty of God, especially amidst the beautiful trees He has graciously given us. I hope one day to plant trees of my own and give them names. Calling them each by name just as Christ calls our names as brothers and sisters.
Thank you for creating something beautiful, dear author, it has blessed me.

I am in school for landscape architecture, and it is all too easy to get caught up in that developer’s mindset, but I will now approach design with a gentle hand and a spirit of reverence for what is Jesus’ and what he has given us to share.
God bless
