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.

"Step into the transformative life God invites you to enjoy, using the wisdom of the Enneagram paired with fresh tools and insights. For more than thirty years, Marilyn Vancil has studied, written about and taught on the Enneagram. She knows full well how the system of nine interconnected personality types, when combined with deep scriptural truths, can lead readers to a life of freedom. Now Vancil offers a way to deeper wholeness beyond the Enneagram. She believes an enhanced model is needed. "What I propose is an adjunct to the Enneagram that I call The Drawing. It incorporates its wisdom, and also focuses inwardly toward the center space and extends beyond the existing circle." As with other spirals and circles to illustrate the spiritual life, the primary movement of The Drawing is toward the middle space, our Spiritual Center, the transcendent way of knowing beyond the more commonly recognized Centers of the Gut, Heart, and Head used to categorize the Enneagram types. The Drawing depicts the holy attraction (or the drawing) of our spirits toward God's spirit as our ultimate destiny. Vancil offers six sacred shifts to lead us from debilitating self-orientation to God-centered living: From What I Am to Who I Am, From Reactive to Responsive, From Bondage to Freedom, From Wounded to Whole, From Shakeable to Unshakeable, From Burdened to Rested. The wisdom and practical steps Vancil offers will lead you to places of profound spiritual discovery and help you chart a course toward the wiser, more spiritually attuned person you long to become"--

Your City Guide to GodBeneath the relentless rhythms of city life beats the heart of God, and award-winning author Marcy Heidish takes you into a more intimate relationship with him in the midst of crowds, chaos, and concrete. Her experiences from a curb in Brooklyn, the bay in San Francisco, a rooftop of Chartres Cathedaral in Paris, and the busy halls of Washington, D.C., help you see the city in a new light. She turns common city distractions, annoyances, and challenges into spiritual invitations or "gateways” to a new kind of contemplation where:•screaming sirens become cues to silent intercession,•skyscrapers, like spires, pull your eyes and thoughts heavenward,•and red traffic lights work as "pause” buttons that call for you to stop and pray."In the city there is grit,” Marcy writes. And grime and garbage. But her practical tools in every chapter for reflection, discussion, and application help you see-whether you're visiting, working, or dwelling in Philadelphia or Phoenix, New York or Los Angeles, Seattle or Syracuse-that in the city there is also grace.
