Tim Tebow Reimagines the Cross in Bold New Children’s Book
A former NFL star is turning one of Christianity’s most sacred moments into a powerful story for children and it’s already sparking conversation far beyond the sports world.
Tim Tebow , known globally for his outspoken Christian faith as much as his football career, is releasing a new illustrated book that tells the story of Jesus’ crucifixion from an unexpected point of view, the wooden cross itself. The book, titled “If the Tree Could Speak: The Story of the Cross That Saw It All,” follows a tree from the moment it is just a seed, dreaming of becoming something grand, perhaps a throne or a masterpiece crafted by a skilled carpenter. Instead, it becomes the cross at Calvary.
Tebow says the idea came from personal reflection. He has often spoken about faith being central to his life, but he began asking himself deeper questions about praise, purpose and what it means to truly honor his beliefs. That reflection led him to imagine the one object that stood closest to Jesus during the crucifixion. And from that perspective, he built a story designed for young readers, but layered with themes that resonate with adults.

The message is simple yet profound. What looks like shame can become purpose. What feels like failure can become transformation. In the story, the tree initially sees its fate as tragic. A cross, in that era, symbolized punishment and disgrace. But through its encounter with Jesus, the meaning shifts. The cross becomes a symbol of hope, redemption and faith recognized around the world.
This release comes at a time when Tebow’s name still surfaces in sports debates, especially when fans compare his 2011 NFL performance to modern quarterbacks. But instead of returning to the field, Tebow is leaning further into ministry, philanthropy and publishing. Through the Tim Tebow Foundation, he has long focused on humanitarian work and now he is extending that mission into children’s literature.
Why does this matter? Because faith-based publishing continues to grow and public figures like Tebow carry influence that reaches millions. For some families, this book will be a teaching tool. For others, it may spark renewed discussion about belief, identity and purpose in a world many describe as distracted and divided.
Tebow argues that young people today are searching for meaning beyond social media metrics and public approval. And with this book, he is offering an answer grounded in Christian theology and personal conviction.
Whether you see him as a former quarterback or a faith leader, this latest move marks another chapter in a career defined by belief as much as by sport.
