Cherishing the Earth

Every system on Earth has been affected by human actions. We have plundered its mineral resources and polluted the land, the atmosphere and the water. Cherishing the Earth conveys the integrated wisdom of a scientist and a pastor who have discovered that sustainable living requires spiritual as well as technological resources. Drawing on stories of people who have found positive ways to respond, they show how understanding God's concern for his whole creation can inspire us toward a more biblical lifestyle. They call for Christians and others to become more involved in communities and seek change at national and international level. Far from being a distraction from living a Christian life, this sustainable lifestyle is a key to a life lived with Jesus at the centre. "For too long we the church have abdicated our God given responsibility for creation care. Here is a wake-up call. Let's make sure we hear it!" Dr Krish Kandiah, Executive Director: Churches in Mission at the Evangelical Alliance UK
