‘I was in the act of throwing away my family’s rubbish while holidaying on a beautiful island when I heard God speak. I could easily have missed it, but an inner whisper asked, “How do you think I feel about what you are doing to my world?”’
Since the day God challenged him, Dave Bookless has been on a mission: to share with others the compelling biblical case for caring for the planet God made for his glory and his people’s enjoyment.
This is not another book on green issues to make you feel guilty. The message is that there is hope. God can take your small and insignificant efforts and multiply them in his great plan.
Dave takes us right into the heart of his family and shows how living simply, besides honouring God, can be an exciting adventure

This important and timely study provides a much needed theological framework for considering and responding to the challenges of climate change. In a highly readable and clear style, it explores the spiritual questions being opened up by this issue: questions about human life and destiny, about our relationship to the planet and to each other, about altruism and selfishness, about the place of technology, about justice, our values and hopes. A practical exploration of these questions is set in the context of the biblical notions of covenant – God’s commitment to creation which David Atkinson sees as the ‘inner meaning’ of creation, and sabbath – regular times of rest and replenishment for humans and for the earth itself. Seeing climate changes in the light of these biblical concepts reveals a strong moral imperative to act in ways that will help to bring about the New Testament hope that the whole of creation will one day be renewed in Christ.
