The Secret of Salix Babylonicus: A Parable of the Weeping Willow

The Secret of Salix Babylonicus is a story of healing, hope, and perseverance for the bereaved and the brokenhearted, the persecuted and the walking wounded. Grounded in the wisdom of the prophets and the psalms, watered by the spirit and the faith of the gospel, this parable of the weeping willow will lead those in need of compassion, catharsis, and pastoral care to their very source.
