Best-selling author, former professional athlete, and faith advocate Tim Tebow has announced the release of his newest book, If the Tree Could Speak, a beautifully illustrated gift book designed to invite readers into a deeper reflection on the meaning of the cross and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Set for release in early 2026 through Thomas Nelson Gift, the book offers a creative and contemplative retelling of the Easter story-imagined through the voice of the tree that would ultimately become the cross. By giving perspective to an inanimate witness, Tebow encourages readers to slow down and engage the familiar story in a personal, emotional, and spiritually resonant way.
Inspired by Luke 19:40, where Jesus declares that even the stones would cry out if His followers remained silent, If the Tree Could Speak explores what creation itself might testify about Christ's life, suffering, and redemptive love. Through poetic prose and evocative illustrations, the book traces themes of obedience, sorrow, hope, and victory-making it especially suited for devotional reading during Lent and Easter, as well as year-round reflection.
"My prayer is that this book helps people not just remember the cross, but encounter it," Tebow shares. "I hope it leads readers to think deeply about who Jesus is, what He endured, and how much He loves us."
The release builds on Tebow's long-standing commitment to sharing messages of faith, purpose, and hope through both his writing and philanthropic work. A multi-time New York Times best-selling author, Tebow has consistently used storytelling to point readers toward spiritual renewal and compassionate action-values that also define the mission of the Tim Tebow Foundation.
With its elegant design and timeless message, If the Tree Could Speak is positioned as a meaningful gift for families, churches, and individuals seeking a fresh yet reverent way to engage the story at the heart of the Christian faith.
The book is now available for pre-order.
