Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Global warming is as much a theological challenge as an engineering one. How do we understand God in a world where we're now dominating nature? How do we understand ourselves in such a way that we might shrink our impacts? Sallie McFague offers a lucid and powerful guide to these questions, and helps advance the field of environmental theology a giant step.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“These are lovely, powerful, centering essays--messages from and for a fragile but beautiful planet.”
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“What a lovely small book, and what a powerful antidote to Twitter, Facebook, and all the rest. To be immersed in the world around us is one of the greatest of gifts!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Really loving one's neighbors--and constantly expanding the definition of who those neighbors are--will turn out to be the crucial practice of our overheated century, as these profound meditations make clear.”
Christianity for the Rest of Us
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This energizing book reminds us that the gospels don’t belong to any political party or any cultural style--that Jesus’ subversive love belongs to us all.”
Christians, the Care of Creation, and Global Climate Change
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“One of the best pieces of news in recent years has been the growing understanding in Christian communities that global warming is an ugly blasphemy. For those of us committed to the Gospel message, global warming threatens the poorest people around the world, the rest of God's creation, and the very future we are asked to steward. This book is a milestone in the new process of understanding--and acting on--this threat.”
Christian Living
“This book will be of great use to all who feel a little broken by the world right now--those of a Christian heritage especially, but really everyone yearning to reconnect with something larger. I think the wisest course of action would be to slip it into a knapsack and remove yourself outdoors to read it.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“We were told, quite clearly, to steward the earth and to welcome the stranger. Our failure on the first score—and the consequent rising seas and spreading deserts—means that we will have ample opportunity to do better on the second. This fine book helps steer us in that direction.”
Theology
“It’s vital that the evangelical tradition is taking seriously the vast biblical resources pointing toward creation care. No one should be surprised that God would like us to look after the beautiful world we were given—and after reading this book, no one will be.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
Foreword
“It is refreshing to see the power of argument and of organizing inherent in these words. For people of faith these questions could not be more real or timely.”
Field Guide to Church of the Wild
Prayer & Spiritual Formation
“In the long years when I was a Methodist Sunday school teacher, we met outdoors as often as in--because that is where it felt most natural to understand the God of creation. This beautiful book will help many to make that lovely and powerful connection.”
Following Jesus in a Warming World
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“In a world suffering from ever-higher temperatures, loving one's neighbor has to mean coming to grips with the climate crisis. This faith journey provides both illumination and inspiration for action!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book is a necessary and powerful follow-up to Laudato Si, a reminder of just how real and pressing these needs are, and of the opportunities for enormous change that lie all around us.”
Hope in the Age of Climate Change
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Hope is a commodity in short supply as the world confronts an ever-hotter climate. But Doran supplies some hope in this volume, which is both scientifically sound and theologically inspired. May it lead many to think, and then to act!”
“Beautifully written, full of scenes those of us who live in and love the forests of the northeast will recognize immediately.”
Christian Living
“What an anchoring book--the wisdom in it is distilled through many traditions, and is available to us all!”
Science & Faith
“This is a special book. It models how serious, thoughtful, and real people talk about the earth in its time of crisis and also about Christianity. Neither are easy topics, and here both mesh into something very powerful, very moving, and very real.”
