Press Reviews
Ruth Valerio is a true pioneer... This book brings us all the benefit of her hard-won experience and applied faith, and will be an essential resource for all concerned to live the whole of their lives to God's glory and for the healing of his creation.
An incredible textbook for changing the world.
Offers a challenge that none of us can ignore. Buy it, read it, and make a difference.
A wealth of ideas for those who want to live with integrity in the light of Scripture.
We are standing on the brink of ecological collapse. Many fall into the temptation of apathy or despair. In this inspiring book, Ruth Valerio moves us from apathy to action, challenging us with the urgent biblical mandate to become healers of the Earth. She moves us from despair into becoming drivers of change, not only making individual lifestyle changes, but becoming catalysts for significant transformation in society. This is a practical handbook of faith and action that every Christian should read, use and recycle on to as many friends as possible!
Ruth has a rare ability to change a person’s way of seeing the world, and at the same time provide very practical steps needed to live out that new way of seeing the world. She’s done that for me. Because of Ruth, I see caring for God’s beautiful world as a natural part of following Christ and I have plenty of simple ways to put that faith into action. This book will do the same for you.
Ruth's love for the natural world bursts through every page of this book. For many years, she has shaped her life to share this planet with God's amazing community of creation. This book is a priceless handbook on how to live sustainably. Ruth does so humbly and honestly, sharing the joys and difficulties of being planet-friendly in a consumer world.
I absolutely love this book. There cannot be a more poignant moment to pick such a relevant and engaging read. In these pages we are invited to participate in a journey that will shape the future of our world and the world of so many others.
Ruth takes us on a journey that we can all engage in, with easy-to-access ideas and practices. I felt so energised having read this, to be part of that different story. Buying this book will change your life for the better, and in so doing, change our world.
Scenario: you wake up and jump in the shower. The water is hot and the house warm. You eat breakfast: coffee made with water boiled in the kettle, and cereal with milk kept cool in the fridge. You throw out the foil trays from last night's takeaway before jumping in the car and setting off for work.
You've done nothing unusual, but already your lifestyle choices - yes, choices - have had an impact on people and the environment across the world.
With warmth and honesty, the author shares her personal journey as well as disturbing findings and deep concerns. It is her passion that we would all play our part in caring for the amazing earth that our God has so wisely and generously created.
