For people of faith ages 20-60, this book is a "green guide" offering a biblical exploration and practical application of the responsibility to care for creation. Matching "why it matters" with inspirational how-to advice, readers will find this book uniquely helpful in understanding the basic issues of Christian ecology, forming an appropriate, personal response, and becoming a true steward of God's world in both the universal and personal areas of life.
Before the snake,
the apple,
and the Ten Commandments,
God created a garden...
"Spiritual environmentalism" did not start out as an oxymoron-it was an invitation.
Yet today, many believe God's first job description for humankind has been replaced by other "worthier pursuits". Why has this simple instruction become so controversial? How does one sort through all the mixed messages? Is changing our lives to save the world really our responsibility-or even possible?
Gardening Eden invites you to consider a new, spiritual perspective to practical environmentalism. The question is not whether our souls find expression and inspiration in our incredible planet, but how best to preserve that fundamental connection.
Green living is no longer a fad-simple lifestyle solutions are now available to everyone. Discover creation care as an act of worship and a call to deeper harmony with our Creator, our fellow gardeners, and our living Earth. Gardening Eden is the primer in how this shift will transform not only our world, but your very soul.
