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.

Formerly an ER doctor and chief of medical staff, Dr. Sleeth is author and speaker, primarily around the topics of faith and health. Dr. Sleeth’s books include Serving God, Saving the Planet, 24/6 which is a book on Sabbath, and his newest book Hope Always which addresses the important topic of mental health and suicide (see S1, E2 of this podcast for a conversation about that)! He is also the director of Blessed Earth, an organization whose mission is to inspire faithful stewardship of creation. Dr. Sleeth and his wife Nancy live in Lexington, KY.
