Jonathan A. Moo

A Christian's Guide to Planet Earth

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is a practical and inspiring book. With admirable brevity, Betsy Painter takes us on a journey around the wonders of creation, along the way providing a balanced assessment of the challenges we face and informed, detailed advice about how we can faithfully care for God's beautiful earth. It's rare to find such a rich combination of the scientific, biblical and practical in a compact and accessible format. Highly recommended!”

Christian Eco-Spirituality

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“The depth of Robin Parry’s academic and practical experience shines through in this compelling combination of a wisdom-centered and ecologically attentive reading of the story of the Bible with extensive creative advice about how churches and individuals can faithfully inhabit this story. A delightful book brimming with theological insight and practical hope.”

Creation Care Discipleship

Theology

“Steven Bouma-Prediger’s skills as a teacher are on full display in this wonderful book that manages in a short space to introduce readers to the biblical, theological, ethical, and practical foundations for earthkeeping. Few if any books manage to do all of this, and none so well. Interaction with important thinkers from across the Christian tradition enriches the discussion, as do stories and reflections from Bouma-Prediger’s own decades of experience. Highly recommended!”

Earthkeeping and Character

Theology

“This book cements Bouma-Prediger's reputation as one of our best thinkers and writers on the most important issue facing Christians today: how we relate to God's creation and care for it well in a time of profound crisis. This important book will now be required reading in my environmental ethics courses.”

Following Jesus in a Warming World

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This is an inspiring book! Kyle Meyaard-Schaap is unfailingly honest, charitable, and compelling, whether he is interpreting Scripture or unfolding the history of evangelicalism or sharing his own journey toward taking seriously the whole story of the Bible and what it means to follow Jesus in this age of climate crisis. Rather than vague platitudes, his advice bears the marks of an experienced leader and activist. Yet what will stick with readers the most is a host of characters whose stories help us see the reality of climate crisis, the power of the gospel, and the beauty of what might be possible when Christians act in joyful and defiant hope.”

Stewards of the Earth

History & Biography

“This is an extraordinarily useful collection of essays that will be an important resource for anyone interested in how evangelical Christians over the last fifty years have thought about their responsibilities for God’s creation and the diverse ways they have responded to the environmental movement and related cultural trends. There is much in these essays to celebrate and also much to disagree with and even lament. I pray that Christians may learn from both the insights and the mistakes preserved here to become all the more faithful in the next fifty years in how we witness to Christ, love our neighbors, and care for God’s good creation.”

The Wonders of Creation

Arts & Literature

“Kristen Page's exploration of Narnia, Middle-earth, and our own wondrous earth is sure to inspire readers to return to the tales of Lewis and Tolkien and see afresh the beauty and brokenness of the world just outside their front door. Page is an engaging and insightful guide to these landscapes, and her reflections are enlivened by thoughtful responses from colleagues at Wheaton. Highly recommended for fans of Tolkien and Lewis, for those who love literature and ecology, and really for all of us whose capacity for wonder will be expanded by this delightful little book.”
