Today (2.24) 6x New York Times best-selling author, 2x national champion, Heisman Trophy winner, speaker, author, entrepreneur and College Football Hall of Fame inductee Tim Tebowshares his new book, If the Tree Could Speak, via Thomas Nelson Gift/HarperCollins Christian Publishing.

Combining beautiful illustrations by Rommel Ruiz and powerful poetry by Tebow and Wyatt Edwards, If the Tree Could Speak tells the story of Jesus' death from the perspective of the cross. Readers follow the cross's journey from its first recollection as a tree seed to its harvesting, chiselling and shaping into a cross - an instrument of torture and shame. Throughout the book, the once innocent tree battles with the reality of the Crucifixion, watching as Jesus is mocked, condemned, and nailed to the cross.

If the Tree Could Speak cuts through the familiarity of what the cross has become, not merely a token used in jewelry or artwork, but a representation of God's greatest sacrifice. The anthropomorphic storytelling calls readers to see Jesus' death and Resurrection through a new lens, feeling the full weight, cost and wonder through the closest witness to Jesus on the most important day in human history.

The book releases in time for Easter, calling Christians and families to read together and remember the true purpose of the Easter season.

"This little book is my attempt to apply (Luke 19:40) creatively to the cross," says Tim. "Of course, the wood is only an object. But sometimes, we need unexpected voices to help us rediscover a truth we may have heard many times before."

Tebow's written work connects to his main mission of bringing Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day through the Tim Tebow Foundation. Since 2010, the Tim Tebow Foundation has served marginalized communities in 115+ countries, through work focused on Anti-Human Trafficking & Child Exploitation, Orphan Care + Prevention, Profound Medical Needs, and Special Needs Ministry.

If the Tree Could Speak adds to Tim's impressive bibliography, including his recently released New York Times Bestseller Look Again, plus other bestsellers including Through My Eyes, Shaken, and This is the Day.
