It was a beautiful, moving book that was truly spiritually enriching and captivating. It is one of the best children's books for Catholic children that I have ever read. I am honored to recommend it and promote it to all of you. The book is highly interesting and deeply spiritual. It is a true work of art.
Filled with wonderful poems, insightful Scripture verses and imagery that brings a soul to weep for our Sorrowful Lord, and an interesting story, this is a book that I couldn't put down after I started it. It's well worth the time and is absolutely perfect book, especially for Catholic children. I'd love to see more homeschoolers use this book as literature in their reading programs, to see libraries add this to the shelves, and to see people read this book.
I would like to endorse this book and give it 5 out of 5 stars.
Book description:
Rose spends much of her time dwelling on her
troubles. She lives in a state of worry and loneliness as her mother has been
harsh and distant since the death of her father when she was an infant. One
golden summer, as she leaves her childhood years, her grandmother and a
heaven-sent friend teach her to bring everything in her life to God in prayer
and to bring His Life into her own. She comes to know and trust Him deeply,
especially when she discovers a carving made by her father in a great tree that
forms the crucifix of a Rosary Garden. Hidden in its depths and unfolding in
layers of mystery and beauty, signs of God's Love are continuously revealed to
her. A Mary’s Garden that she plants reflects her own growth in a living faith
that brings a garden of souls with her to God, including her mother.
Suitable for all ages, this timeless story of
forgiveness and hope shows how suffering is transformed through union with
Christ. Enriched with spiritual art, poetry, and quotes from Scripture, The
Tree of Healing tells of the healing of one young girl and of all wounded
humanity by the Sacrifice of Jesus on a new Tree of Life.
