Book Description
"What can the Bible say about ecology? As people face huge ecological challenges-including growing hurricanes, floods, forest fires, and plastic pollution-the groundbreaking Eco Bible dives into this question. Drawing on 3,500 years of religious ethics, it shows how the Bible itself and its great scholars embrace care for God's creation as a fundamental and living message. Eco Bible both informs the reader and inspires spiritual commitment and action to protect all of God's creation. Eco Bible has been a #1 bestseller on multiple Amazon Kindle categories.This 'earth Bible' is a great read for those interested in Jewish and Christian social issues. It also represents an important contribution to eco theology, and to the spiritual ecology movement. Publishers Weekly called the book an """"insightful analysis,"""" which """"will inspire contemplation on how to live in harmony with nature and the power of conservation. Ecologically minded readers interested in the Hebrew Bible will love this."""" Eco Bible Volume 2 explores Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Together they cover 450 verses in the Five Books of Moses / Pentateuch / Old Testament. By linking faith and science, the book connects religion with contemporary scientific thought regarding human health, biodiversity, and clean air, land, and water. Professor Bill Brown, Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary, calls Eco Bible "a rich repository of insights?for people of faith to move forward with wisdom, inspiration, and hope, all for the sake of God's good creation." Applying Biblical ethics to stewardship, conservation, and creation care is not just an idea for today, but is essential for a future where we live in balance and thrive on a planet that remains viable for all life. At a time of both ecological and spiritual crisis, an ecological reading of the Bible can have profound impact on human behavior, since billions of people worldwide consider it a holy book. Eco Bible uniquely explores the Bible's deep inspiration for fulfilling the blessing of all life, changing course to preserve God's creation, and sustaining human life in harmony with nature and all God's creatures."

Book Description
For seven years, Tzvi Freeman's reweaving of ancient tales have been one of the hottest hits on the Jewish web. Now they've finally hit realspace for all the rest of us. The moon holds what would seem a hopeless argument with its Maker— who controls all that exists by voice-activated interface— and wins. The Heavenly Court noshes popcorn while entertained by 3D multimedia presentations— of bidders on a hot miracle contract. A psychotherapist discovers his client can't tolerate the laws of nature— because he was trained on the supernatural track by Heaven Incorporated. And an angel from the technical support desk discovers the secret of physicality— bringing it to market as a spiritual-to-physical travel device. Tzvi Freeman has already built a reputation for poetic literary style and depth of insight with his collection of short meditations, "Bringing Heaven Down To Earth." In Heaven Exposed, he polishes the fables of the ancients with the fiery wisdom of the Kabbalah and welds them into a golden setting of science fiction to present us with a chest of magnificent jewelry. What makes this so spectacular is that the fables and the Kabbalah are as authentic as you can get. What's even more wondrous is that such deep wisdom could be made so much fun. As the author puts it, "G-d is found in paradox— and it is paradox that makes people laugh."
