The God of the Garden: Thoughts on Creation, Culture, and the Kingdom
There's a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They're both told to bear fruit. They both come from dirt.
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 reader to the glory of God shining through his creation. 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. One of his first commands to Adam and Eve was to "work and keep" the garden (Genesis 2:15).
Award-winning author and songwriter Andrew Peterson, being as honest as possible, seeks to give glory to God by spreading out his roots and raising his branches, trusting that by reading his story, you'll encounter yours.
