The Poisonwood Pines
A gospel parable for children—told through forest creatures, a broken tree, and a selfless King.
In the shadow of the Poisonwood Pines, a group of animals faces despair. Their land is dying. Their strength is gone. And across the great divide lies a place full of life—but no one can reach it. Despite their best efforts, the gap is too wide… until one silent King offers everything to make a way.
Poisonwood Pines is a moving allegory of Christ’s sacrifice, written in lyrical rhyme and rich, symbolic imagery. Through the King’s courage and love, children will glimpse the heart of the gospel: a Savior who lays down His life to bridge the gap and bring His people home.
Perfect for Easter, devotionals, or everyday reflection, this book invites families into a deeper understanding of Jesus’ love, the hope of resurrection, and the promise of restoration. A powerful story that will stir hearts young and old—It is finished, indeed.
