Discover fresh hope as you see the miracle of redemption through a new set of eyes.

In If the Tree Could Speak, New York Times bestselling author Tim Tebow invites you into the story of Jesus’ crucifixion, told from the perspective of the closest thing to Jesus on that day—the wooden cross. This captivating poem portrays the journey of Jesus all the way to His crucifixion and resurrection. You’ll see His death and His humanity in a new light.

When a large tree is cut down, it hopes to be made into something the whole world would admire. But after being stripped and beaten down into two beams, the tree is aghast at its new shameful form—a cross used to execute only the worst of criminals.

Follow the cross to Golgotha and meet Jesus with fresh eyes as the cross discovers that it holds the King of kings, who has redeemed the tree’s shameful form to become a symbol of hope for all of humanity. Filled with striking illustrations from Rommel Ruiz, If the Tree Could Speak

  • Is a compelling narrative written in rhyme from the perspective of the cross, making the crucifixion story accessible for all readers and levels of faith.
  • Is a perfect gift for Lent and Easter, baptisms, or for someone curious about or new to the Christian faith.
  • Is a great choice for churches to read from the pulpit, in Sunday school classes, or in small groups.

Come to the cross and embrace the love and redemption that Jesus offers to everyone who believes.
