In doing so, she looks to an unlikely place--the forest--to learn how to live and even thrive when everything seems to be falling apart. What can we learn from eroding soil, the decomposition process, the time it takes to grow lichen, the beauty of fiddlehead ferns, the regeneration of self-sowing seeds, and walking through the mud? Here, among the understory of the forest, Wilbert discovers rich metaphors for living a rooted and flourishing life within the complex ecosystems of our world. Her tenderness and honesty will help readers grieve, remember, hope, and press on with resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lore Ferguson Wilbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brazos Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781587435706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLore Ferguson Wilbert\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Curious Faith \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Handle with Care\u003c\/i\u003e, which won a 2021 \u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e Book Award.
