“Scripture is filled with examples of God’s people being called to speak up and defend the rights of the vulnerable and oppressed. Advocacy is not an option for us; it’s a biblical responsibility and an integral part of our discipleship and witness. But advocacy is not easy, and Christians have struggled (and often failed) to do it well. This timely and practical resource offers a robust vision of what faithful advocacy can look like today. Read this book if you want to understand better how to renew our witness for justice, peace, and the flourishing of all creation.”

“An honest companion for anyone seeking to live faithfully in a wounded world. By pairing poems with reflections, Climate of Lament gives language to ecological grief and invites us into lament as both spiritual practice and public witness. With attentiveness to place, history, and justice, this collection speaks truth in love about what is happening to God’s good world, confesses our complicity, and tunes us to the Spirit’s call for faithful transformation.”
Theology
“Learning how to live faithfully as part of God’s good but groaning creation is a defining challenge facing the church and world today. For too long, however, caring for creation has been a blind spot for many Christians. Instead, we have often allowed our cultural and political lenses to dictate how we approach environmental issues. In this rich resource, two highly respected theologians refocus our attention on where it should have always been—the Bible. We have a divine opportunity— and an urgent responsibility—to help the church recover a more faithful role in caring for all God’s creation, and this book lays an essential foundation for doing just that. It is an excellent and trustworthy guide for understanding and living out the biblical call to creation care. I highly recommend it to Christians, churches, and colleges everywhere.”

Theology
“This is a book for our times! I have long turned to Steven Bouma-Prediger for wisdom on how to think and live faithfully in light of our intensifying climate and ecological challenges. This book draws from his vast theological and ethical expertise and from his lifelong experience in the holy work of earthkeeping. It is a rich and practical guide for how we can better live out God’s call to care for all creation.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“In my work on climate change and environmental problems, I've become acutely aware that disasters—whether in the form of violent conflicts, spreading diseases or extreme weather events—are only growing worse and more frequent. We know that when such disasters hit, people turn to churches and Christians for help. The question is, will we be faithful and ready? Thanks to Jamie Aten and David Boan, the answer can be a resounding yes. This highly practical book is an urgent and important resource for Christians and churches everywhere.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Amidst these turbulent times, Earthbound Christian is an honest and insightful exploration of what it means to follow Jesus as creatures of both heaven and earth. With warmth, wit, and theological depth, Haynes helps us see that flourishing doesn’t come from breaking free of our God-given limits but from embracing them as gifts woven into creation itself. This is a deeply authentic invitation to live grounded and human lives in an increasingly technology-driven era.”

“With the eye of a scholar and the heart of a pastor, Myatt deftly unpacks the many rich and often overlooked connections between the biblical narrative and the Harry Potter series. An excellent and eye-opening resource for all fans of Harry Potter as well as anyone interested in exploring how these wildly popular works can help us better understand and appreciate truth and beauty in this world.”
Following Jesus in a Warming World

This book shares his captivating and convicting journey as an ordinary Christian seeking to love God and neighbor in these extraordinary days of global climate and biodiversity crisis. Read this to be inspired to take a stand and be empowered to find your voice as a follower of Jesus in God's good but groaning world.”

“This is the book I've been waiting for! As a person of mixed ethnicity, I've long struggled to know who I am, where I belong, and how to faithfully embrace and engage both the privilege and burden of straddling multiple worlds. Chandra is a wise and compassionate guide for all of us who walk these winding paths or seek to love and serve those who do.”
Science & Faith
“Planted is one of the most captivating and inspiring books I have read in a long time. It offers rich and intimate glimpses into what sacrificial care for all God's creation can look like in the lives of ordinary Christians. Surely God desires for this to become part of our story as well.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Drawing from ancient pastoral wisdom and prophetic lived experience, Swanson shows how racial and ecological injustice are intertwined symptoms of the same pervasive disease, and how God's people can live out their calling as caretaking communities of healing and restoration in the world today. Honest, insightful, and inspiring.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“I’m grateful for my friend Sarah Withrow King and this important book she has written. God cares for his creation and made us in his image so we could too. Although it has often been a blind spot in our churches, how we treat God’s other (nonhuman) creatures is integral to our discipleship and witness today. It also has serious implications for the health of both people and the planet. These aren’t easy questions—and they may have more than one answer—but they’re important and biblical ones that need asking. And Sarah is an honest and thoughtful guide for all of us committed to living more faithfully in a world too full of violence and suffering.”

“Weathering Change brims with wisdom and encouragement for navigating life's many and often challenging transitions. Drawing attentively and insightfully from God's two books of revelation—the Bible and creation—Courtney Ellis offers practical grounding for finding our footing and even thriving in these turbulent times.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book is an encouraging and pastoral gift to the church today. Many of us, and many of our churches, are struggling to reconnect with and recover our calling to the people and places around us. Robert Campbell invites us into a life-changing part of his story, which is really the story of his humble but remarkable congregation, and how they are learning to live out the fullness of the gospel right where God has planted them. . . . I am often asked what it practically looks like for a local church to care for creation and love their neighbors--this book is one very good and hopeful answer. Read it and start applying its timely and valuable lessons.”
