When God challenged him over his attitude to the environment, Dave
Bookless did a total rethink. This led to major changes, not only
in his family's lifestyle but also eventually in his career:
full-time involvement in the global A Rocha movement that aims to
care for God's fragile world. But in one sense this book isn't
about going green at all. It's a personal account of a life lived
in relationship. It's about roots and belonging, suffering and
healing, identity and meaning, faith and doubt. It's about how in
God's economy nothing need be wasted. This is a story about the
messiness that each human being wades through in every area of
their lives, and about a God who can take all that seems most
wasteful and useless, and recycle it into something of infinite
worth.
"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.
