My Thoughts on Mike Lynch's "The Tree"!

My initial reaction when I got done reading this was just awe.

The story was something that I didn’t expect but all in a good way. Mike Lynch made the message he delivers organic, seamless and seemingly a natural fit. The flow and spirit of the story was intense and moving and although a novella sized read went like a blink. One thing I enjoy about great message stories like this is the way it walks with me afterward. It seems to follow me and take my mind to places that I hadn’t considered or even thought. Basically it makes me look at things a bit differently now. That is rare in a read nowadays. And for that I am grateful.

Do I suggest the read, yes; it will open your eyes and your mind if you are receptive to it. Have fun and be forewarned.

 Below is the story synopsis and a little bit about Mike Lynch:

From his earliest memories, Quentin Truitt never once questioned God’s best for him, until he meets a mysterious stranger who tells him about an ancient tree whose fruit will impart to him knowledge he never thought possible. Filled with a desire for something beyond God’s provision for the first time in his life, Quentin takes the first step of a journey that will have consequences for the human race he never intended.
