The Heart of the Tree

Book One of The Chronicles of the City of E

By Pastor Robert S. Clark

A decade in the making. A city in spiritual decay. A tree that still remembers.

The Heart of the Tree is the first book in an epic, allegorical fantasy series that blends deep theology, poetic imagination, and bold gospel truth.

Written by Pastor Robert S. Clark—discipleship pastor, tattooed believer, and founder of Gonzo Bible Study—this story was born out of prayer, pain, and relentless hope. Published on the birthday of the grandfather he was named after, the novel is a labor of love and legacy.

📖 About the Book
