How and why Christians should care for the planet

Having been asked repeatedly for accessible biblical material on creation care, Dave Bookless (National Director of A Rocha UK), decided to write it himself, thereby plugging a gap in the market!

'I was in the act of throwing away my family's rubbish while holidaying on a beautiful island when I heard God speak. I could easily have missed it, but an inner whisper asked, 'How do you think I feel about what you are doing to my world?''

Since the day God challenged him, Dave Bookless has been on a mission: to share with others the compelling biblical case for caring for the planet God made for his glory and his people's enjoyment.

This is not another book on green issues to make you feel guilty. The message is that there is hope. God can take your small and insignificant efforts and multiply them in his great plan.

Dave takes us right into the heart of his family and shows how living simply, besides honouring God, can be an exciting adventure.

Caring for our planet is integral to our Christian faith, something that will have ramifications for the whole of our lives. Here is a message to honour our Creator. It will free us up, not tie us up in legalistic knots.

'Dave Bookless is passionate about his faith and about the environment. In this book he offers us a chance to explore a massive global issue of our generation, in both theological and practical ways. Nicky Gumbel
