THE GIVING TREE

I read this book to our grandson yesterday.
Brennan Manning (author of The Ragamuffin Gospel) and Shel Silverstein (author of The Giving Tree) met when they were young - and according to Manning, they stayed in touch. 

Later, after Shel began to write and Manning became a priest, they had a conversation about God and God’s love. Manning asked Silverstein what he thought God’s love felt like. Silverstein thought about it for a while but had no answer. 

Much later, Silverstein got in touch with Manning and gave him a copy of The Giving Tree saying the book was his answer to Manning’s question.
