There Were Two Trees in the Garden

I purchased both this book and the workbook that goes with it. I have found the ideas presented here extremely helpful in discerning between what is of the Holy Spirit and what is not. The church of today needs this book, as so much humanism has crept into the church. This book exposes the root of that belief system, and helps uncover ways that human reasoning may have crept into your church and your life that you were previously unaware of. But this book is also inspiring and will call you up higher in your walk with Christ. This book is an easy, interesting read, but it is not fluff, unlike much of what you will find in Christian bookstores. In chapter 1: "The two trees" Joyner provides some important insights into Genesis that he will trace through other portions of scripture, all with the conviction of the Holy Spirit and practical application to life. It will take to long to go through each chapter, so here are a few highlights. In chapter 6: "The antithesis of Babylon" Joyner points to where true unity in Christ comes from. In chapter 7: "Abraham", he talks about what true faith is. In chapter 8: "Looking for a city" he talks about what true ministry looks like. In chapter 11: "The fear of God vs. the fear of man" the author explores the contrast between these two ways of thinking and living. This is an essential concept to grasp in order to live a fruitful life pleasing to God. You may not agree with every detail of what Joyner writes, but he has some great insights into the fall in the garden, as well as thoughts about Passover and the blood of Jesus that are worth pondering. He clearly illuminates some of the strategies of the enemy in such a way as to set people free from subtle deception. There was one theologically disturbing sentence in the book that I disagree with, but it is so out of the flow of everything else Joyner teaches, that I will chalk it up to an editing glitch and recommend this book on the basis of the 99.9% of it that is excellent! It is not necessary to buy the companion workbook to get a lot out of this great book by Rick Joyner, but I am enjoying going through the workbook.

This is good revelation. Eat this and go back later for 2nds and 3rds and 4ths. Very Interesting book I never read one like this.

Love this book !

Very informative on walking in the Spirit and understanding the deeper things of the Kingdom of God! Read it! You won’t regret it. The mysterious of God is very deep. Worth searching out.

I first read this over 20 years ago. I recently felt compelled to reread this and within the first couple chapters was stunned at the depth of clarity, insight and revelation this book contains. This is easily one of the two or three best Christian books I've ever read. And I've probably read hundreds. There is something in here for everyone, old and young believers, or even non-believers. There is solid, foundational teaching here that in some cases blows apart well intentioned, but incorrectly established doctrines and traditions. Most importantly, the main thing is always the main thing, as all teaching in this book points to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. I have read many of Rick Joyner's books over the years and consider this one and The Call my favorites. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed awareness of Rick Joyner as he points out that the "bad" tree in the Garden wasn't just about evil, but also the knowledge of "good" as well. When we depend on ourselves for our salvation by avoiding evil and being good, we are eating from the tree that got us kicked out in the first place. Worth a read, especially if you are judging your life by your personal successes in being a "good person".

Arrived timely and in great condition

It was very inciteful and educational on why there were two trees in the garden and why human nature is what we see today. Man seems to idolize the creation and not the creator and is completely self-centered instead of directing his focus on God and everlasting life as given to us by the tree of life, Jesus Christ. Excellent read.

This book brings to life the true meaning to follow Christ. Putting the religious in their place and freeing up those that truly seek His presence. The best book I’ve read in years.

I couldn't believe how much we have missed through the teachings of the traditional church. May we all forsake the focus on the tree of knowledge and return our sights on Christ, the tree of Life.
