Isaiah Tree by Anna Lea Cannon: A Faith-Based Story That Inspires Readers of All Ages
A Gentle, Faith-Based Story About Feeling Seen, Loved, and Transformed
If you're a parent, grandparent, Sunday school teacher, homeschooler—or even leading an adult faith study—you know the challenge of finding faith-based books that truly resonate.
So many titles are too complicated or overly preachy. Others don't encourage the real, meaningful conversations families and groups want.
Anna Lea Cannon’s Isaiah Tree: The Olive Tree That Jesus Touched is different. It's beautifully written, accessible across ages, and perfect for sparking discussions about faith, hope, interconnectedness, and Christ’s love—even with teens and adults.
🌿 What Isaiah Tree Is About
Isaiah Tree is designed for a broad audience—children approximately 6–12, teens, and even adults in faith groups.
The story follows an olive tree near Jerusalem that longs to see the Prince of Peace. It listens carefully to the prophet Isaiah’s words and hopes it might one day witness the Messiah’s arrival.
Generations pass. The tree grows roots that intertwine with neighbors. It becomes part of a community that supports one another, passing truth through the ages:
“Old roots, neighboring branches, and new trees were all interconnected as they supported each other and grew.”
The tree finally experiences the miracle of seeing Jesus. It witnesses the depth of His love and sacrifice in the Garden of Gethsemane. This isn’t just a story of being overlooked and found—it’s about bearing witness, carrying light, and sharing Christ’s peace across generations.
It asks a profound question:
“Could Isaiah Tree somehow pass on that light from the Prince of Peace to the world?”
It’s a gentle, powerful allegory about sharing faith and hope far beyond oneself.
