About this listen
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.

“Sleeth is the perfect missionary to American evangelicals for the environmental cause.” (Andy Crouch, author of Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling)
“Matthew Sleeth carries a fresh message and unique insights arising from a life of integrity and a vantage point that offers glimpses of the world that most others miss.” (Dr. John Stumbo, president of the US Christian and Missionary Alliance)
“Reforesting Faith immediately captures the soul! It awakens a hunger for the vastness of God as well as the immediate presence of God. Matthew has a great gift of taking something as common as a tree and exploding the Scripture before our eyes, resulting in an overwhelming renewed love for our Lord.” (Jo Anne Lyon, general superintendent emerita of the Wesleyan Church)
