Experts warn that the earth is in a state of environmental crisis. Faced with
dilemmas such as global warming, soil erosion, air and water pollution, and
rapid extinction of species, how might Christians respond? Aware that much
action is required, Sam Hamilton-Poore maintains that a Christian response
includes the "work" of prayer, "for prayer is itself a way of taking
action."
To support believers in exploring "the interconnecting love that
binds together God, humankind, and creation," EARTH GOSPEL presents four weeks
of daily reflections. Each day's reading corresponds to one of seven themes: (1)
Beginnings (2) God's Providence: Continuing Creation (3) Wisdom: Creation
Teaches (4) Humankind's Vocation (5) Sin and the Destruction of Creation (6)
God's Recreation (7) Sabbath: The Praise of Creation.
EARTH GOSPEL is
printed with recyled paper.
