The trees immense trunk rises like a red cathedral pillar into the sky. Fire scars darken the wood, not as wounds but as witness. This tree has endured centuries of drought, flame, and storm and is still standing, still sheltering life. To sit here is to feel time slow, to sense that you are in the presence of something vastly older--and quietly attentive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided by pastor, urban farmer, and tree lover John A. Creasy, \u003cem\u003eTree Pilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e invites you into moments like this, when forest and faith meet. This book offers pilgrimage, not as escape from the world, but as deeper immersion into it--into soil and moss, grief and gratitude, prayer and responsibility. As you walk alongside Creasy through old-growth forests and fragile ecosystems, you are invited to listen: to trees, to scripture, and to the wisdom of interconnection written into creation itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter centers on a particular old-growth forest or ancient tree--oaks and pawpaws, aspens and redwoods--exploring what deep time, fungal networks, and resilient ecosystems can teach us about God, community, and our place within a living world. Drawing from progressive Christian theology, Celtic spirituality, and ecological practice, \u003cem\u003eTree Pilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e reclaims creation as sacred text and living teacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a book for the love and lament you may carry for the earth. It looks honestly at ecological loss without surrendering hope. Along the way, you are offered simple practices--walking, noticing, praying, planting--that help you renew your own relationship with the land where you live. If you long for a faith rooted in justice, wonder, and care for creation, \u003cem\u003eTree Pilgrim\u003c\/em\u003e invites you to begin the journey--one step, one tree, at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"AUGSBURG FORTRESS PUBLISHERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67729397284916,"sku":"9798341901476","price":58.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9798341901476.jpg?v=1792099002","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9798341901476","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
