There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis and the last page of Revelation. The Bible refers to itself as a Tree of Life (Proverbs 3:18). Every major Biblical character has a tree associated with them. This is no accident. When we lose track of the trees in Scripture, we miss essential lessons of faith necessary for our growth. Reforesting Faith is the rare book that connects those who love the Creator with creation, and those who love creation with the Creator. Join Dr. Matthew Sleeth as he explores the Bible’s trail of trees and reveals the wonders of the nature of God and his love for us. You’ll be amazed at how science is just beginning to catch up to the truths described in Scripture thousands of years ago. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods—and through Scripture— will never be the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f8851770f0a412356d4ed/ecda5625-e5fc-4e2d-aad4-4614b09fef36/Amazon.png Reforesting Faith - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f8851770f0a412356d4ed/64a7088e-dd61-4411-94c1-536b12bf8ba7/powells.png Reforesting Faith - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.matthewsleethmd.org/24/6 daily 0.75 2023-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f8851770f0a412356d4ed/0decdf20-fa1b-4f59-bf1b-9058ccc80263/24%3A6.jpeg 24/6 - 24/6 A Prescription for a Healthier, Happier Life By: Matthew Sleeth, MD “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.” It’s the only commandment that begins with the word “Remember” – almost as if God knew we would forget. Well, guess what? We did. And is it any wonder? Look around. Smart phones, Facebook, Twitter, and Skype help us stay connected with co-workers, family, and friends, but what about God? How can we possibly have “ears to hear” when we are plugged in 24/7? If we never take time to “be still and know” God, how can we grow into mature spiritual beings? The solution is simple. And it is endorsed by the Great Physician Himself. In fact, He invented it. It’s called rest. And like all good things, rest is a gift from God. In 24/6, Dr. Matthew Sleeth shares the Bible’s life-giving rhythm for a healthier, more God-centered life. Along the way, he shares how his family was dramatically transformed when it began adopting Sabbath practices and helps us better understand how our own lives can be radically enriched – physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually – by adopting a 24/6 lifestyle. https://www.matthewsleethmd.org/serve-god-save-the-planet daily 0.75 2022-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f8851770f0a412356d4ed/68a4a27d-1ee3-4c03-9ec3-08baf598af09/serving+God.jpg Serve God Save the Planet - Serving GOd, saving the Planet A CHRISTIAN CALL TO ACTION BY: Matthew Sleeth, MD _____________________________________________________________ Not long ago, Matthew Sleeth was living the American Dream. He had a great job as chief of the medical staff at a New England hospital and a successful life—until he saw an increasing number of patients suffering from cancer, asthma, and other chronic illnesses. He began to suspect that the earth and its inhabitants were in deep trouble. At the time, Sleeth was an atheist who thought that science and logic held the answers to life’s problems. After “stealing” a Gideon’s Bible from a patient waiting room, Sleeth discovered how the scriptural lessons of personal responsibility, simplicity, and stewardship could be applied to modern life. The Sleeths have since become believers, selling their big home and giving away half of what they once owned. Sleeth shares the joys of adopting this healthier, less materialistic lifestyle with his family, which led to stronger relationships and richer spiritual lives. With the storytelling ease of James Herriot and the logical clarity of C. S. Lewis, he lays out the biblical case for creation care and provides practical advice for making responsible stewardship changes in your daily life. https://www.matthewsleethmd.org/thegreenbible daily 0.75 2022-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f8851770f0a412356d4ed/9dc103d2-9a9d-4192-a187-ed9f0ce36919/The+Green+bible.jpg The Green Bible - THE GREEN BIBLE With essays from Matthew Sleeth, MD The Green Bible will equip and encourage you to see God's vision for creation and help you engage in the work of healing and sustaining it. This first Bible of its kind includes inspirational essays from key leaders such as N. T. Wright, Barbara Brown Taylor, Brian McLaren, Matthew Sleeth, Pope John Paul II, and Wendell Berry. As you read the scriptures anew, The Green Bible will help you see that caring for the earth is not only a calling, but a lifestyle. https://www.matthewsleethmd.org/the-gospel-according-to-the-earth daily 0.75 2022-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/628f8851770f0a412356d4ed/6663b8d2-1b9e-4c3d-a480-c5e6cf071bb3/The+Gospel+according.jpg The Gospel According to the Earth - The GOSPLE ACCOrding TO EARth By: Matthew Sleeth, MD As an emergency room doctor, Matthew Sleeth saw a disturbing increase in asthma, autoimmune diseases, cancers, and other environmentally related disease. One slow night in the ER, Sleeth picked up a Gideon's Bible in the waiting room. Although raised in a Christian home, he had long ago abandoned his childhood beliefs. Reading the Gospels that night, he found both the spiritual and environmental answers he had been seeking. As a result, the Sleeth family took an accounting of their lifestyle, drastically reduced their reliance on electricity and fossil fuels, and began sharing their journey with others. In THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE EARTH Sleeth uses the Bible as a teaching mechanism, retelling the often radically counter-culture Bible stories that motivated his environmental journey and showing Christians how to get behind the issue. The Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us about how our transportation choices affect our global neighbors. The prophet Daniel calls to question our dietary habits. And the story of Noah addresses key issues for life on Earth: how do we relate to the Creator, to others in the human community, and to the rest of the natural world? With passion and faith, Sleeth provides a new green lens through which we can read the Bible to discover answers to our biggest questions about the environment and how to care for it. https://www.matthewsleethmd.org/join daily 0.75 2025-05-08
