We are faced with a great environmental challenge. If you are ready to take the lead in caring for God’s creation and humanity, this is the book for you.

Edward Brown presents a theologically grounded, scientifically informed, faith community approach to caring for creation. Brown bases his book on the proposition that the environmental problem is, at its core, a sin problem and subsequently finds its hope and redemption in the leadership of the church.

Along with scientific notes about the current situation, he quickly turns to providing practical tips for the church from integrating creation care in worship, preaching and teaching, programming for children and youth, mission and church planting, building and facilities considerations, and ultimately loving others and building community. “The church can begin to respond to the environmental crisis simply by being the community she is called to be.”
