Sycamore Trees
by Kelly Roberts
God is always doing a million things in every little thing. Just like he planted a sycamore tree and brought it to full maturity LONG before Zaccheus would need to climb that tree to see Jesus passing by, He is working in your life and mine today, to bring about the good plans he has for our lives in the future. In this book, I share several short stories of "sycamore tree moments" that I've experienced in my own life. Recognizing those moments has strengthened my faith GREATLY over the years! I hope this collection will be a source of encouragement to you when you feel like you've lost your way and don't understand what God's doing. He is a GOOD GOD and is working at all times to lavish your life with His goodness and love!
What readers are saying
“Upon reading the initial draft of Kelly’s book, my immediate thought was this: 'Great Concept; Awesome Connection.' Testifying to the providence of God in her life highlights God’s work and glorifies Him. Identifying that providence demonstrates the wisdom He grants us as we connect His Word to our life experience. Together, this emphasizes our need for a close personal relationship with Him. This is the essence of faith-building. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Romans 10:16 (NKJV) Kelly’s transparency and her vulnerability in sharing her life are commendable. This book will add richness and understanding to to anyone’s walk with God. I highly recommend it. ”

“I can't tell you what a blessing Kelly's book has been. She has collected grace, and wrapped words around it, and has painted a picture so clearly of how good, how intimate, how patient, how loving, how merciful our God is. She writes of how God brings beauty from ashes, and how He restores dead bones back to life. It's a beautiful book!”
— Kim Williamson - Believer and friend of Kelly's
“Though God has allowed Kelly to struggle through some hardships, He has had a plan all along. For a long time ago, He gave Kelly extra measures of grace and love to withstand the struggle, and He gave her the gift to express that love and grace through her writing. Preparing her way back then to write this book today - that's called the PROVIDENCE OF GOD! Just as Sycamore Trees has been such an encouragement to me, I know that it will encourage you too. As her mother, I thank God for this precious gift.”
