The Creator has called us to care for life, his creation. Unfortunately, many evangelical Christians have decided that value has too much political baggage attached to it and has forsaken caring for God's creation. In this book, pastor and author Tri Robinson clearly shows the biblical mandate for environmental stewardship?and how doing so will change the world around us. Through biblical examples, everyday stories, and practical know-how Robinson delivers a powerful message that cannot be ignored. His insights into how to move people from the idea of stewarding God's creation to actually participating will clearly show leaders in the evangelical Christian community how to raise this value.

Sleeth divulges hundreds of practical, easy-to-implement steps that create substantial money savings while protecting the Earth. She also demonstrates how going green helps people live more God-centered lives by becoming better stewards.

First impressions count. God set the tone when He created the earth with our first glimpse of the Garden of Eden. But He didn't stop there. On so many occasions in the Bible, God directs our attention to the flowers. Jesus spent time in solitude in the Garden of Gethsemane. He taught us about growing in Him through the Parable of the Sower. When God repeats an idea, it deserves more than a quick glance. God cultivates us as we grow in relationship with Him when we recognize that He is our Gardener, growing us into His beautiful image. God's Green Earth is a collection of these concepts, intended to help those in search of a deeper connection with Christ.

"A new collection of poetry by Noelle Kocot"--

Foremost religious leaders from diverse faith communities respond to the most controversial question of our time: Can we save the earth? The answer could hinge on the phenomenon of the fast-growing interfaith religious environmental movement. The author makes the case for environmental stewardship that cuts across old divisions of faith and politics. She presents 20 fellow religious leaders and eminent scholars (from rabbis to evangelicals to Catholics, Muslims and Buddhists) each contributing an original essay-chapter, with personal stories of awakening to the urgent need for environmental awareness and action. From all parts of the religious and political spectrum, they come together to tell why caring for the earth is a spiritual mandate, giving chapter and verse and offering plans of action that go beyond the walls of religious congregations and out into the broader community.
