Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing from years of experience in both horticulture and Christian work, Rev. J. Patrick Bowman has gleaned vital spiritual lessons from the life of a tree. In this concise easy to read study, the author parallels the unique factors that keep a tree healthy and fruitful with the health and fruitfulness available to Christian believers. Although laid out to be read as an inspirational study, the appendices of questions for reflection for each chapter provide transformational opportunities for the reader. This format allows "Like a Tree" to be enjoyed individually or as a dynamic group study. With little effort, this rich volume is readily adaptable as the centerpiece for a spiritually challenging and edifying weekend retreat. New believers and seasoned saints alike will appreciate its relaxed style and Biblical, apostolic perspective. "Such a great book with apostolic depth and wisdom! I am not just recommending it to disciples of Christ, I am recommending it to those saddled with the assignment of nursing and growing spiritual infants. They will do well by following the insights and wisdom you shared." -Oluwasina Oluwaleke, Lagos, Nigeria
