PLANETWISE by Dave Bookless (Dare to care for God's world!)
​
'I was in the act of throwing away my family's rubbish while holidaying on a beautiful island, when I heard God speak:
'How do you think I feel about what you are doing to my world?"
​
Since that day, 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. There is hope. God can take your small and insignificant efforts and multiply them in his great plan. Besides honouring him, living simply can be an exciting adventure. (from the book cover)

Saying 'Yes to Life' lifts our focus from natural, everyday concerns to issues that have an impact on millions of lives around the world. Foundational to 'Saying Yes to Life' is what it means to be human and, in particular, to be a follower of Jesus. Voices from around the world are heard throughout, and each chapter ends with discussion questions and a prayer to aid action and contemplation.
