Tree of Life: The Spirit of God and from Eden to Paradise to New Jerusalem

Tree of Life: What if the Tree of Life is more than a relic of Eden—what if it’s the Spirit’s roadmap home?

This bold, prophetic volume traces the movement of the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden to Paradise in Sheol—and ultimately to the New Jerusalem. Dr. Tim James uncovers how the Spirit of God is intricately connected to this Tree, sustaining the righteous and guiding them across the ages.

Through rich biblical exposition, recovery of ancient worldviews, and eschatological clarity, Tree of Life reveals how God's redemptive plan restores not just creation—but communion. This is the story of a journey through death into glory, carried by the breath of God.

He planted it. He preserved it. He will bring us back to it.
