Book Description
The Bible is bursting with teaching about nature: how God created it, how humans fit into it, and how it is part of his big story of justice, love and redemption. But what does the Bible have to say about the environmental issues that face us? These seven Bible studies explore such questions as: How well rooted are you in God's creation?, Can you take your ethics to the shops?, Does what you eat really make a difference?, Is an environmentally friendly lifestyle just too painful to contemplate?

Book Description
When a wolf descends upon your flocks, all you gain by killing her is a short respite, for other wolves will come. If instead you feed the wolf and tame her and turn his pups into your guard dogs, they will protect the flocks when the pack comes ravening. Some scholars have suggested that the 10%%%% regard all faiths as equally false, believing themselves to be more powerful than any god or goddess. They look upon priests and temples as relics of a more primitive time, though useful for placating slaves, savages, and the poor with promises of a better life to come. Moreover, a multiplicity of conscious groups helps to keep their subjects divided and lessened the chances of their uniting under one banner.

Book Description
In GREEN LIKE GOD, Jonathan Merritt gently and insightfully observes that the bible has a lot to say about environmental problems like unclean water, material waste, over consumption, air pollution, and global warming. In fact, Jonathan writes that "in the book of Genesis, God went green and never looked back." Relying heavily on scripture, Jonathan gives the case for green living, but not because it's trendy and hip. Rather, it's part of living rightly as a believer. It's an act of obedience to our Creator-God. GREEN LIKE GOD is at once practical, prescriptive, and conversational in tone. The author looks at a number of trends with tips to help the reader wade into the world of creation care living. An appendix includes suggestions of things we can do. In addition, the book includes interviews with everyday Christians to tell the story of the journey to environmental stewardship among people of faith. This is the book that Christians are longing for and need today. Written for a new generation of Christians who are struggling with how to deal with the important issue of creation-care and green living, GREEN LIKE GOD is both highly relevant and theologically sound. It will have a profound impact on how Christians live and interact with the world today.

Book Description
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.
