A provocative and urgent essay collection that asks how we can live with hope in “an age of ecocide” Paul Kingsnorth was once an activist—an ardent environmentalist. He fought against rampant development and the depredations of a corporate world that seemed hell-bent on ignoring a looming climate crisis in its relentless pursuit of profit. But as the environmental movement began to focus on “sustainability” rather than the defense of wild places for their own sake and as global conditions worsened, he grew disenchanted with the movement that he once embraced. He gave up what he saw as the false hope that residents of the First World would ever make the kind of sacrifices that might avert the severe consequences of climate change. Full of grief and fury as well as passionate, lyrical evocations of nature and the wild, Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist gathers the wave-making essays that have charted the change in Kingsnorth’s thinking. In them he articulates a new vision that he calls “dark ecology,” which stands firmly in opposition to the belief that technology can save us, and he argues for a renewed balance between the human and nonhuman worlds. This iconoclastic, fearless, and ultimately hopeful book, which includes the much-discussed “Uncivilization” manifesto, asks hard questions about how we’ve lived and how we should live.

In the Book of Acts in the Bible, the epic and supernatural experiences of God’s love, power, and guidance are powerful and tangible. This ACTS study of the Book of Acts is designed to equip and empower followers of Jesus today to become like the first disciples and to do the things that they did in that world-changing book. ACTS begins with a review of the Gospel and the resurrection of Jesus as His first followers would have understood them, and then moves through the historical accounts of the Book of Acts. Topic by topic, it reveals the dynamics of the life of the early church on and after the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out with power from Heaven. This study is written to the common believer in language that is easy to understand and apply to life today so that every follower of Jesus can enter into deep fellowship with the Holy Spirit and other believers, endure victoriously through the trials of life and opposition to the faith, and know our power and authority to work miracles, signs, and wonders in the name of Jesus. If your heart burns to experience the Book of Acts, then ACTS is the study for you and your church.
