by Angela Elwell Hunt
Three trees grow side by side, each with different dreams what they want to be when they grow up. The first wants to be a treasure chest and hold the riches of men. The second wants to be a mighty sailing ship to carry mighty kings to far away places. The final tree wants to stand ant point people heavenward all his life.
The first is cut down and made into a simple manger. The second crafted into a meagre fishing boat. The third tree is made into lumbar. The years pass, until the night the manger has the privilege of holding, if not the riches of the earth, the Treasure of Heaven. One stormy night on the Sea of Galilee our second tree witnesses the calming of a storm and understands he is bearing the King of Heaven. The third tree has lived a miserable existence until now as a cross. The day the Son of God is nailed into him may be the most difficult of his life, but this tree always invokes God to those who see him.
What I Love About This Book
I love the calm assurance that the desires of our hearts are answered in ways we never dreamed possible. I love how everything points to Christ, and how He is the center of everything that happens, just as I feel He is for us in our lives.
1) This book is very religious
2) The cross as defined as being the symbol of Christianity
