Growing Through Rain and Shine

About the Book

Have you ever seen a disfigured tree and thought how pathetic it looked? Did you wonder why someone hadn’t cut it down? Well, like the tree, we all face ‘bad weather’ and trials that can change us. But if we see the tree as an example of resilient character, we too can learn to face our hardships with strength, endurance, trust and compassion. This story tells of a tree that has been weathered, but continues to grow and thrive because it has a God-given purpose. Discover your purpose as you learn from the tree’s perspective how difficult circumstances can be blessings in disguise.
