The Biblical Basis for Environmental Stewardship
by Fred H. Van Dyke, David C. Mahan, Joseph K. Sheldon, and Raymond H. Brand

Embodying God's Love from the Inside Out
by Roger Helland and Leonard Hjalmarson
Foreword by Alan HirschIf all of the earth is God's domain, why are Christians so terribly provincial? We rarely leave our church buildings, and our spirituality rarely takes us beyond ourselves.
