Publisher's Description
Faith-Based Solutions to Caring for the EarthClimate change is a confusing and polarizing issue. It may also prove to be the most daunting challenge of this century because children, the elderly, and the poor will be the first to feel its effects. The issue is all over the news, but what is seldom heard is a conservative, evangelical perspective. Connecting the dots between science and faith, this book explores the climate debate and how Christians can take the lead in caring for God's creation. The authors answer top questions such as "What's really happening?" and "Who can we trust?" and discuss stewarding the earth in light of evangelical values. "Acting on climate change is not about political agendas," they say. "It's about our kids. It's about being a disciple of Jesus Christ." Capping off this empowering book are practical, simple ideas for improving our environment and helping our families and those around us.

“In Caring for Creation, Mitch Hescox and Paul Douglas present compelling evidence, grapple with indispensable theology, and propose crucial solutions regarding one of the most urgent crises of our day. As people of faith, we can lead a global conversation toward action—action that will save millions of lives and bear witness to a creative and loving God who cares about all people.”
“Evangelicals defend our belief that God created the world, yet we sometimes fail to conserve it. Caring for Creation presents a compelling case for a clean energy revolution that will protect future generations from the ravages of climate change. A must-read for any Christian seeking to be consistently pro-life.”
“This is a fabulous read! Engaging, informative (sometimes shocking), practical, and deeply spiritual, this book will equip us for action.”
Dr. Joel C. Hunter
“It was characteristic of biblical prophets that they sounded clear warnings about the realities of the present and impending consequences. But they also called for radical practical change and never lost the anchor of hope in God. This book is prophetic for our generation in all three ways: realism, practicality, and biblical hope.”
Rev. Dr. Chris Wright
