Love in a Time of Climate Change
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book is an act of witness, and a powerful one. It reminds us that if church is going to mean anything in a time of rapid climate change, it's going to have to take on this toughest of all questions.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Women have been at the forefront of the climate battle from the start, and this book is proof of it. If we have a fighting chance of coming through these decades, it's because of them!”
On Earth as It Is in Advertising?
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“The question of our time is whether we allow the consumer society to teach each of us to think of ourselves as the most important thing on the planet, or whether we manage to learn the lesson that maturity--that is, happiness--requires us to live in and for community, for things larger than ourselves. Sam Van Eman offers some very wise and very straightforward guidance in this fine and compassionate book.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“A beautiful and timely reminder that there's plenty we can be doing to fit in better with creation. Read it and change!”
“Our Last Best Act will change your death, and maybe even your life.”
Science & Faith
“Rienstra's idea of 'refugia' offers some combination of solace, realistic hope, and inspiration. One prays that, in particular, people of faith will use this as a goad and a help to take the actions we all know we must. This book is a small classic.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This is great….We badly need new doors into the greatest set of problems humans have ever faced. This prayerful amalgamation of deep concern for social justice and a healthy mystic sense of what might inspire it—it's a blend that could provide great help.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This book speaks hard truth to hard power––it's unsparing, and that's what we need. It's also loving in the (not so easy) way that the Gospels are loving.”
Struggling for the Soul of Our Country
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“These essays are elegant and interesting accounts of what it might mean to view America, Christianity, and other fundamental topics from a slightly different angle, one that offers new insights.”
“Sage advice, in my opinion--and I've spent most of my life at the end of a dirt road. The only advice I would add is, work through these checklists with as many neighbors as possible, because in a real crisis (of which a globally heated world will provide plenty) they're going to be your bar-none best survival assets!”
“Lovely and smart reflections--the perfect book to slip into a rucksack on a day you're planning a wander through the larger world!”
The Cross in the Midst of Creation
Theology
“This book is a powerful guide to the actual, difficult, beautiful, and empowering gospel story, and a bridge back to a real faith for those with the courage to follow.”
Christian Living
“Vigen Guroian's fine book is proof that Christians would do well to spend more time outdoors, in the one great megachurch that operates as a planet-scale museum of divine intent.”
“This is a genial but sharp-eyed book that gets at some essential and difficult truths about our species at this late date in human history.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Here is a fresh and powerful telling of the gospel good news: Jesus would indeed be a radical environmentalist because he is a radical believer in the possibilities of the human spirit.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Some of the finest minds on our planet, coming together to offer a vision of how we might actually get through the difficult decades ahead—and get through them in style!”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“There's real wisdom in this book, not just for the next generation but for those of us making the decisions right now. Those of us of a certain age have a very real responsibility to do everything we can to pass on a working planet to those who come after!”
Christian Living
“We need to set down roots before we can grow into whatever light the world offers; this is a remarkably acute and resonant account of what those roots might look like. We can move from our home soil, but we can’t leave soil behind altogether!”
Arts & Literature
“For anyone who grew up mentally wandering the forests of Narnia or Middle-earth, this book will be a joy and a revelation—you'll be reminded just how deep those images went into your heart. I'm pretty sure the best place to read it is with your back against a tree trunk on a sunny day—but if it's cold and snowy out, these pages will summon that summer in your soul.”
