    Heart Rhythms 'N Rhymes: Trees

    About this ebook

    Trees are amazing. They are as practical as a log on the fire. They are as mysterious as a dark woodland path. They are as imaginative as a child's (or grownup's) treehouse. And so much more. There is a spirituality, wholesomeness, fun and wonder that can be seen in trees; in their variety, in memories evoked, in scenes enjoyed, in their revelation about the God of Creation, or in any of a hundred other reasons that they hold our fascination. Herein the reader is invited to walk between the leaves and recall some of these reasons and see afresh the symmetry of these familiar shapes in the cadence of the words.

    Author

    Rod Kriewall

    Rod Kriewall has been writing creatively ever since high school where he took 3rd in a statewide writing competition. He grew up on a farm in the upper Midwest where he attended church and professed faith in Christ at an early age. His professional career led him to the Pacific island of Guam before settling in California. In addition to writing, he has spent much of his life studying and teaching the Bible and, along with his wife, being actively involved in Christian ministry. When asked to turn his creativity toward trees, the result shows not only the prominence and appreciation that trees have in God’s creation, but also the love of climbing trees and the joy that growing up around, and in, trees, has been to his life.
