Quick Summary:

A global superpower strips the forest bare...yet despite this, hope emerges in the form of a "shoot from the stump of Jesse." There’s no future in being a stump, yet, even a stump may play nurse to a shoot which springs from its roots; for after all God is in the hope business.

THE ROOT STOCK OF JESSE has been planted in your lives and THROUGH YOU God is going about the business of reforesting the world.
