Description
“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 “Somewhere along the line, too
many people picked up the notion that loving trees was somehow pagan or Druidic. As this volume
makes clear, the Bible is a veritable forest, full of towering cedars and heavy-laden fruit trees.
Reading this will help make the Scriptures come more fully alive.― —Bill McKibben, author of
The Comforting Whirlwind: God, Job, and the Scale of Creation “Reforesting Faith is an
extraordinary book. Never before have I gone on a ‘nature walk through the Bible,†so
Iâ€m grateful I had Matthew Sleeth as a guide. Itâ€s fascinating to see the Bible through this
lens—and to realize the connection has been there all along. I heartily recommend this
captivating and beautifully written book that enables us to see Scripture in a fresh way.―
—Howard Dayton, founder of Compass—Finances Godâ€s Way “This is one of those
rare books that makes you wonder how you could have read the Bible your entire life and missed
so many insights and treasures. Matthew Sleeth invites us on an amazing journey through
Scripture with an eye to the special place of trees. In the process he helps us reimagine the world
in new ways and awakens parts in us that have been asleep for far too long. Drawing from nearly
a thousand references to trees or their derivatives in the Bible, Sleeth reignites our sense of
wonder and our love for the majesty of God. This book will help restore our weakened
imaginations and remind us of our proper place in the world.― —Timothy C. Tennent, PhD,
president of Asbury Theological Seminary “All of physical creation is an object lesson of
spiritual truth. In this wonderful book Matthew Sleeth illuminates the most profound, prolific, and
practical object in Godâ€s inventory—the tree. Both spiritual solace and spirited service find
meaning in trees.― —Joel Salatin, farmer and author of The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs:
Respecting and Caring for All Godâ€s Creation “When it comes to biblical knowledge
and divine insights, I can read Matthew Sleeth all day. In Reforesting Faith he has given us a
