Former NFL quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner, and bestselling author Tim Tebow is celebrating another major publishing milestone as his latest book, If the Tree Could Speak, has debuted on several prominent best-seller lists, including the prestigious The New York Times Best Sellers list.
Published by Thomas Nelson, the illustrated devotional-style book has quickly captured the attention of readers across the country. The title currently sits at No. 6 on the New York Times Best Sellers list, No. 14 on the Publishers Weekly Best Sellers list, and No. 18 on the Amazon Charts, marking another successful release for Tebow.
With this achievement, Tebow has now become a seven-time New York Times bestselling author, continuing a remarkable run of faith-centered books that have inspired readers worldwide.
If the Tree Could Speak offers a creative retelling of the story of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection through the perspective of the tree that ultimately became the wooden cross. Drawing inspiration from Luke 19:40-"If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out"-the story imagines the journey of the tree from its earliest beginnings to its role in the central event of the Christian faith.
The book combines Tebow's reflective storytelling with writing partner Wyatt Edwards and vivid illustrations by artist Rommel Ruiz. Together they present the message of the cross in a fresh and visually engaging way designed to help readers, families, and children reflect on the meaning of Easter and the sacrifice of Christ.
Tebow, widely known for his outspoken Christian faith both during and after his sports career, continues to use his platform to encourage audiences through writing, speaking, and philanthropic work. Through the Tim Tebow Foundation, he has supported vulnerable communities in more than 115 countries through initiatives addressing human trafficking, orphan care, medical needs, and special needs ministry.
The strong debut of If the Tree Could Speak follows the success of Tebow's previous title, Look Again: Recognize Your Worth. Renew Your Hope. Run with Confidence, further cementing his influence in faith-based publishing.
