Book synopsis
Ecological problems - drought, global warming, pollution, resources - are headline news. It is easy to feel paralysed in the face of the size of the problems, especially when put together with world poverty and global instability. Christians are contributing to the environmental debate and have a vital specific insight: the Christian message of hope. Drawing on stories of people who have found positive ways to respond, the Hodsons 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.
