They are approached by hotel developers and are caught between their passion for the prairie and their need for money to repair their crumbling cathedral. Of course, the parish's largest donor stands to profit from the deal! The creation? Or the cash? As flood waters rise, so do the stakes of their choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOf Green Stuff Woven\u003c\/em\u003e springs from the experience of two devastating floods and of the burgeoning prairie restoration movement. Told by Brigid Brenchley--kind and quirky cathedral dean--it is Brigid's tale but also the story of a faith community: hardworking plant enthusiasts, parishioners of varied persuasions; the bishop; the mayor; and most importantly a beloved cathedral member who loses his home and life to the flood. All converge like spokes in the spinning wheel of this decision. The book articulates the depths of Anglican spirituality that undergird creation care ministry, while compassion highlights the plight of threatened plant species and people vulnerable to climate events, and challenges us all to examine the decisions we make in the stewardship of our land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt does all this while taking readers on a good ecclesiastical romp and retaining realistic hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cathleen Bascom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611533368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611533361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Torchflame Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.60w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2020","brand":"Cathleen Bascom","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995232502015,"sku":"9781611533361","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e48c861b-b81a-4418-9a42-ffd150c2f1f6.jpg?v=1683334620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-green-stuff-woven-cathleen-bascom-9781611533361","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
