The Tree of Faith

In her faith-based memoir, C. J. Schat recounts the guiding presence of God throughout her life. From the seed of faith that God planted within her at birth to the conscious spiritual cultivation that she undertook to nurture that seed into a towering tree, Schat recalls the moments, the experiences, and the realizations that have made her who she is today.Some of these “God events” were times of joy and celebration; others relate to recovering from familial death, bereavement, and deep emotional pain. Still others remind us that even God has a sense of humor. Throughout her personal testimony on the power and importance of faith, Schat shares true stories of answered prayer ranging from the trivial to the tragic. The relatable anecdotes tug at the heartstrings or tickle the funny bone, but they never lose sight of the core message: God works—and in mysterious ways, indeed.
