Ecology is at the heart of our faith. Just as Jesus was spirit and flesh, green living is both spiritual and practical. Our environment is the whole of creation, and we're called to live the sustainable life.
JWR: Jesus Would Recycle
By Joe Johnston
This may be the most urgent book for sustaining life on earth. It can't be done without the Christians.
There are about 1.5 billion people who ascribe to some version of Christianity. No other group is poised to lead the change to healthier, happier, sustainable living.
On the other hand, Christian hands are on the throttle of government, industry, and our wasteful, destructive lifestyle. We can all change to fluorescent bulbs, drive electric cars, and live green, earth-friendly lives, and the Christians can still kill us all.
Do you know that every major denomination has a powerful environmental statement?
Some have been around for ten years or more. Yet there's no plan for putting those official ideals into action.
Whether you're a Christian or not, we all need to know what Jesus says about earth care. We must all be able to talk with Christians in their own terms about these life-giving matters.
Two hundred pages, including environmental statements from the major denominations.
