Praise for Tree of Sacrament:
“In this slender and carefully crafted volume, Nick Galieti looks at the remarkable history and extraordinarily rich symbolism of the sacrament as a way of enlarging our appreciation of the sacrament’s meaning in our lives. The Tree of Sacrament is an outstanding guide to enhance our experience with this ordinance so as to gain all of the blessings promised us by God.”

“President David O. McKay wrote, “No more sacred ordinance is administered in the Church of Christ than the administration of the Sacrament.”
This book is a careful and thoughtful discussion of why that is so, and what we can do to make the sacrament more meaningful in our lives.
It establishes an historical and religious precedent for the ordinances of the sacrament by comparing it to the sacrificial offerings of the Law of Moses, showing that as the Law anticipated the Savior’s atonement, so the sacrament is a celebration of the fulfillment of the Law through the Savior’s sacrifice.
It gives an insightful analysis of the sacrament prayers, helping us to understand the symbolism of the emblems of the ordinances, and of the sacred covenants associated with partaking of them. To do this, the author reviews Lehi’s vision of the tree of life and Alma’s discussion of how we may plant such a tree in our own hearts, and then nourish it until our lives may also become representative of the Savior whom we worship.
It shows that the fruit of the tree of life and of the waters of life represent the love of God. Similarly, the Savior taught that his body represented the bread of life, and his blood the living waters, and that if we partake we shall neither hunger nor thirst. The emblems of the sacrament represent the body and blood of the Savior, and are therefore also reminiscent of the fruit of the tree of life and of the waters of life. Each also represents a covenant of the blessings we will receive if we will always remember him
An understanding of correct doctrine changes attitudes and behaviors. This book is perfect for young men and women who are trying to square their exuberant young lives with a reverent understanding of the sacred ordinances. The author points out that the sacrament is a weekly renewing of all of the covenants we make, so his discussion is also a splendid introduction to the reverence young people ought to feel in anticipation of their temple covenants.”
