The Proud Tree: By Luane Roche

The Proud Tree: Revised Edition

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 and ungrateful at first, Rex learns a lesson in humility from the humble and gentle Jesus--a lesson that crystallized the importance of sacrifice and the power of love.

Beautifully illustrated in full-color to capture the imaginations of children, this beloved tale unfolds in a fresh and memorable way. Young readers will come away with a pattern for living and loving the way Jesus did.
