There\u2019s a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They both come from dirt. They\u2019re both told to bear fruit. In fact, arboreal language is so often applied to humans that it\u2019s 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. It\u2019s hard to deny that trees mean something, theologically speaking.<\/p>\n
This book is in many ways a memoir, but it\u2019s also an attempt to wake up the reader to the glory of God shining through his creation. One of his first commands to Adam and Eve was to \u201cwork and keep\u201d 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\u2019ll encounter yours.<\/p>\n
Hopefully, you\u2019ll see that the God of the Garden is and has always been present, working and keeping what he loves. Sometimes he plants, sometimes he prunes, but in his goodness he intends to reap a harvest of righteousness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
