What if everything you were taught about God... wasn't enough?
In But Only Love Can Make a Tree, Lorraine Valentin Sharpe invites readers into an intimate, thought-provoking journey through love, faith, doubt, and the search for truth. Told through the conversations of two ordinary people navigating life together, this book strips away easy answers and confronts the deepest questions we all carry:
What is God?
What is love?
What does it really mean to believe?
As Ronan and Malaika wrestle with commitment, religion, and the meaning of life, their dialogue unfolds into a powerful exploration of theology-not as doctrine, but as lived experience. Their story challenges traditional ideas about church, prayer, Jesus, and spirituality, replacing rigid belief with something more personal, more honest... and more alive.
This is not a book of rules.
It is a book of reflection.
Blending storytelling with philosophical insight, Sharpe creates a space where readers are free to question, to doubt, and to rediscover faith on their own terms.
Inside this book, you'll explore:- A fresh perspective on God as love and being, not dogma
- Honest conversations about religion, doubt, and spiritual awakening
- The tension between tradition and personal truth
- Love, commitment, and what it means to build a life together
- A deeply human search for meaning in an uncertain world
This book is for anyone who has ever questioned their beliefs...
Anyone who has struggled to reconcile faith with reason...
And anyone who believes that love-not fear-is the foundation of truth.
Because in the end...
only love can make a tree.
