Like a Tree: The Power of a Privately Healthy and Publicly Fruitful Life [9780802442765]

Overview

What if the most important part of your life . . . is the part no one sees?

Every follower of Jesus is called to be like a tree—quietly growing healthy roots beneath the soil as you receive from and grow in Jesus. From this sacred place flows a life of fruitfulness—and don’t we all desire to be healthy and fruitful?

In today’s culture we see a lot of people who are publicly successful, yet privately hollow. This is a temptation we should all recognize and fear. Our world is obsessed with performance and platform. Like a Tree offers a deeply needed alternative path. Pastor Al Toledo draws from Psalm 1 as he shares practical steps toward building an authentic spiritual life connected to Jesus and addresses the questions, challenges, and lies we face every day.

In God’s kingdom, private growth always comes before public fruitfulness. A small decision to read, a quiet commitment to forgive, a private act of obedience, these hidden choices transform us from the inside out. Like a Tree helps readers see where we’re unhealthy, gives us tools for growth, and shows how we can become the vessels God uses to reach the world.

Only God knows the specific journey He has planned for you, but He graciously reveals the clear pathway towards growing into it. God wants to nurture you into a place of personal strength and fruitfulness. You’ll discover not just how to grow yourself, but how to confidently help others grow.

This book is perfect for:

• New believers looking for next steps and growth in their relationship with God
• Christians who desire greater personal connection with Jesus
• Believers who are searching for greater purpose and kingdom impact

From a tiny seed to a mighty oak—your life can flourish in ways you’ve never imagined. Begin the life changing journey of Like a Tree and discover the beauty and power of a life rooted in God.
