Caring Trees

With beautiful original artwork and evocative use of metaphor, the author has created a parable.  Having been inspired by the spirituality of children, he describes something of his own understanding of prayer, praise, and healing, implicitly inviting readers to consider how they might express their own response to the divine.

Caring Trees offers a unique combination of both depth and simplicity, taking the reader on a journey, limited only by one’s own imagination.

Caring Trees shows how we reflect God’s love in our relationships with others, giving us reason to believe in God’s healing power.   While the book celebrates God’s creation, it could be used to discuss how God is always caring for us.  Children of all ages, as well as adults, will smile at the unique colorful drawings as they read the dimensions of hope and kindness.
