Everyone Must Eat

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Mark Yackel-Juleen’s clear-eyed reckoning that we need ‘to accomplish a more just food system and maintain a healthier planet’ emerges from careful listening and faithful service among rural people. In a society desperately groping for meaningful response to climate disaster, Everyone Must Eat offers ways to replace hand-wringing with hands-on expression of God’s abiding love for God’s good creation.”

Greening the Children of God

“‘No child outdoors’ is a sad trend in modern society, but Rimmer shows an exit blazed by Thomas Traherne, an early-modern thinker who traced God’s love throughout creation. Where others settled for mind against matter, and science against faith, Traherne saw nature and grace to be interrelated in empirical details, and keyed on wonder in moral formation. Readers disheartened by the environmental crisis may find in Greening the Children of God a map to hope.”
