Some stories are familiar — until they are told from a perspective that makes us pause, breathe, and see them differently.

If the Tree Could Speak invites readers into the story of the cross through a beautifully written, poetic retelling of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Told from the perspective of the wooden cross itself, this moving hardcover book follows a tree that once hoped to become something admired by the world, only to be cut down, stripped, and shaped into what felt like shame.

But as the cross carries Jesus to Golgotha, everything changes.

What once seemed broken and discarded becomes part of the greatest story of redemption, hope, love, and restoration. Through powerful rhyme and striking illustrations, this book offers a fresh and meaningful way to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus and the hope found in His resurrection.

A thoughtful gift for Easter, Lent, baptisms, small groups, church families, or anyone longing to see the story of the cross with renewed wonder.

A beautiful reminder that even what feels broken can be redeemed into something filled with purpose.
