Applying the Model & Way
The Model in 3 Layers--Root & Trunk, Environment, Branches
We are metaphorically or symbolically seeking to strengthen our entire Tree to stand upright and true.
The True Story of True

Have you ever thought of how singular it is that the roots should always go creeping under the soil, while the stems always rise upward into the air in delight–with just those few exceptions? Why should they do so? Why may not the roots sometimes for a chance try to come above the ground, or the stems once in a while try for a chance to go burrowing below ground? We never see this happen, with all the hundreds and thousands of gardens–plants and forest–trees known to us. Such a thing is unheard–of. And why? No explanation can be given except that which has been offered before: that it is their nature so to grow, and that He Who gave them life gave also to each its own particular nature and character. – The Garden of Earth, Agnes Giberne, pg.67
The Roots of the Tree—Building Foundation
The roots, which anchor the seedling to the earth, are the most precious part of the plant.
The Book of Nature
“God’s glory in the heaven’s, the innumerable worlds in their orderly revolutions, the mysteries of light and sound, of day and night- were all objects of study by the pupils of earths first school.” – Ellen White
“And I, Abraham, had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given unto me, in Ur of the Chaldees, and I saw the stars, that they were very great.. and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God.” – Abraham 3:1-2
The Environment of the Tree—Unlocking the Chambers
This nurturing allows our inward talents and gifts to spring up and reveal the Divine Nature or Genius in each of us.
The Branches & Fruit—Receiving & Living Mission
Trusting this growth process will naturally instill in us a greater desire for increased knowledge of our divine purpose and mission.
You Have a Role to Play
We were given specific instructions based on the intelligence & Gifts of who we are.
Seasons
“I believe that my season will come. And, when I finally see my tree, I believe there’s a season to come.”
A "Guide" to Building Foundation
The cultivation of our Tree growing in the Sunshine is our original culture and story.
Come
“Go up to the Mountain of the Lord, Heed the Call our hearts deeply know.”
It’s time for “Garden of Eden” or “Hebrew” Schools to be available to families. We believe Women and Mothers, principally, are the ones who will do this inward nurturing work of leading, guiding, mentoring in this Hebrew Way and who will restore this original cultivation of the Tree and Garden Ways.
We at House of the Book dot org are providing community Guided study experiences that help you understand the symbolic and Hebraic roots from the original sources in a way that has not been taught in our educational or Sunday schools.
