Under the Ombú Tree by Fletcher L. Tink
The ombú tree. It’s simply an overgrown shrub rising tall into the air. It does not grow elegantly like other trees; rather its multiple trunks twist and turn, wrestling like giant boa constrictors.

The “trunks” of the denomination are thick with intertwining cultural origins. Travel with the author as he journeys around South America recounting the stories of God’s faithfulness and goodness to those who call themselves Nazarenes. |
