"Discovering the Spiritual Wisdom of Trees" was co-written by Beth Norcross and Leah Rampy, in connection with the Center for Spirituality in Nature. These ladies both grew up in the church but became disenchanted with the restriction found within the four walls of the church. Along the way, they discovered God's presence best in the woods. Trees can teach us about renewal, rebirth, handling change, and even the importance of community. I was especially touched by this quote: "The tree offers an important lesson -- those who have withstood the most, who have grown the most slowly under the most difficult circumstances, are the strongest and hardiest and most prepared to endure whatever circumstances they meet."

I enjoyed parts of this book, but it was much more detailed than I was expecting. If a reader is interested in a more science-based and religious vs. Christian field of thought, they would really enjoy this book! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
