Proud Tree - Luane Roche - Paperback

He was the straightest & sturdiest tree in the whole forest - & wasn't afraid to say so. His very name reflected the arrogance he felt, from his roots, all the way up his trunk, & through his green, leafy branches. Rex truly believed he was the king of trees - until an amazing event changed his life & the lives of all creation. This imaginative story of the crucifixion is told from the viewpoint of Rex, the tree that became the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Proud & ungrateful at first, Rex learns a lesson in humility from the humble & gentle Jesus - a lesson that crystallized the importance of sacrifice & the power of love. Beautifully illustrated in full-color to capture the imaginations of children, this beloved tale unfolds in a fresh & memorable way. Young readers will come away with a pattern for living & loving the way Jesus did.Roche, Luane is the author of 'Proud Tree - Luane Roche - Paperback' with ISBN 9780892431465 and ISBN 0892431466.
