This groundbreaking walk through Scripture by former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case that trees reveal more about God and faith than you ever imagined. “Christians looking to reconnect to the natural world will relish Sleeth’s passionate call to Christian stewardship of the Earth.”—Publishers Weekly Fifteen years ago, Matthew Sleeth believed that science and logic held the answers to everything. But when tragedy struck, he opened the Bible for the first time and was surprised to find that God chose to tell the gospel story through a trail of trees. There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. The Bible’s wisdom is referred to as a tree of life. Every major biblical character and every major theological event has a tree marking the spot. A tree was the only thing that could kill Jesus—and the only thing Jesus ever harmed. Reforesting Faith is the rare book that builds bridges by connecting those who love the Creator with creation and those who love creation with the Creator. Join Dr. Sleeth as he explores the wonders of life, death, and rebirth through the trail of trees in Scripture. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods—and through Scripture—will never be the same.

"I encourage anyone who wants to have a better grounding in the biblical, historical, and theological basis for believing in the continuation of the gifts-especially gift of healing-to make this a part of his or her library. This book is not milk; it is meat." —Randy Clark Jesus brought people into direct contact with the power and authority of God. Every healing and miracle revealed the glory of God and the reality of His kingdom. Jesus gave the disciples authority to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, to heal the sick, and to deliver the oppressed. Receive Your Miracle Now presents a strong argument for the legitimacy of a Christian healing ministry in today's church. By studying key passages of Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments, examining the thread of healing throughout church history, and presenting a theological basis for healing and deliverance ministry, Bob Sawvelle demonstrates that through the healing gifts Jesus is still glorified, the sick are still healed, the oppressed are still freed, and God's kingdom advances in the earth, as it ever has.

Plit! . . . What was that? A sound? A noise? Something falling to the ground? Who heard it? Did anyone pay any attention to it? Does anyone even care? Not now, but one day soon, everyone in the whole world will know about it. Why? Why did a loving God plant and nurture a seed that He knew would grow into the tree, that would be turned into the cross, that His only begotten Son would be crucified on? Why was the seed of this tree so important to Him? At the same time as the seed on its journey to becoming a tree was planted by God another seed was about to be planted by God. A young Jewish girl, a virgin---spotless and pure---holy in the eyes of God, chosen specifically by God, to become the mother of God! Her name is Mary, chosen to be honored forevermore! A seed is about to be planted in Mary. A seed that is destined to grow into a man. A man whose Father is God! A man whose mother is human. A man destined to be, all man and all God, at all of the time. A God-man, whose destiny was already intertwined in an unbreakable bond to be joined with the tree that is sprouting from the seed on a lonely old hill above the little village of Bethlehem,. A God-man, whose destiny was already determined before the foundation of the earth was even set in place, to be crucified on a cross made from a tree that God planted and nurtured and made to grow!In miraculous ways, two seeds have now been planted. Two seeds have now sprouted. Two seeds are now being nurtured and protected by God. Two seeds are now set on their individual paths to an unbreakable destiny of one day being joined together-forever!Why did God have to become the Father of God through Mary? What was the reason why God had to plant a seed inside of Mary that became Jesus---the Son of God---whom God had already predestined to die on the cross made from the tree that came from the seed that God planted and caused to sprout and grow?To answer these questions, we have to go all of the way back to the very first miraculous seed ever planted by God in the very 'beginning' journey of the history of creation that would eventually turn into the destiny of mankind---the destiny of mankind that required a perfect God-man to take the place of an 'imperfect' sacrificial lamb, to die on a tree-cross so God and man could be reconciled together. This book is dedicated to everyone who has ever had questions, doubts, and/or, concerns about the Bible, Christianity, and/or, God. There are many, many confusing, and even conflicting things written in the Bible. But, if you have ever tried to get any true and honest answers from your clergy, teachers, college professors, and/or, deans of religion, concerning these concerns, you have probably been given even more confusing answers than you ever had before, or more than likely, been given no answers at all. Following are some questions that will be answered: 1. Is the story of 'creation' in the book of Genesis correct in the way it is written? 2. If so, is the earth really only about 7 to 10-thousand years old as many believe?3. Did Eve speak with a real reptilian snake?4. If so, what kind of snake was it? Was it poisonous?5. What was the real 'forbidden fruit' that Adam and Eve partook of?6. What kind of tree did the forbidden fruit come from?7. Is the Bible the absolute infallible Word of God, totally and completely free from all mistakes?8. Why do some religions have a different number of 'holy' books in their Bibles?9. Why are there four different versions of the resurrection of Jesus in the four Gospels?10. Did Judas commit suicide or did he fall face first and his bowels spilled out? Did angels intermarry with mankind? What about the Neanderthals, and any other sub-human species, where did they come from? What about the dinosaurs, where did they come from? Was our loving God responsible for creating something so awesomely fearful and mean? Is there anything in the Bible that can give us an answer to this question? YES!!!

Witness Lee speaks of the church in The Practical Expression of the Church, not only from the viewpoint of God’s eternal purpose, which is the church triumphant and universal, but also from the viewpoint of the believers’ experience and enjoyment of the riches of Christ, which produces a local expression of the church, an expression that displays the oneness of the Body of Christ and brings in God’s commanded blessing (Psalm 133).

Learning to Love what Father Loves Other seeds fell on good soil, and yielded grain—some a hundred times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some thirty (Matthew 13:8 AMP). Nourishing the Seed is the result of well-known Bible teacher and author Bob Mumford’s spiritual walk with the Lord. You will come alongside his unfolding journey over the past 55 years of learning to love what God loves. Like his book Mysterious Seed—Maturing in Father’s Love, he passes along to you the bag of seed that the Father gave him. The DNA of the acorn enables it to become all that God the Father intended: a huge, symmetrical, and fully formed oak tree. Father’s Seed in you comes to maturity in the same way. Nourishing the Seed helps you: Understand Agape love as the mysterious Kingdom Seed that must be cultivated and nourished to grow and produce fruit in your life. Address the issues that keep that nourishment from happening. Thoughts and Questions at the end of each chapter provoke deep and inspiring introspection to form a more meaningful relationship with God the Father. Helpful diagrams and charts throughout also add depth of understanding. Nourishing the Seed is a compilation of powerful, daily, devotional-size teachings designed to move you spiritually forward. Rather than vague concepts and principles, these teachings will nourish the Seed that is growing within you—the serious believer—so that you can be unshakable and learn to love what Father loves.
