Serve God, Save the Planet
J. Matthew Sleeth had what many people envy: a prestigious, highly paid job, large home, and otherwise affluent lifestyle. However, in his work as a medical chief of staff, seeing an increasing number of chronic illnesses raised questions in his mind about the role that our environment may play in those illnesses. Those questions led his family toward a much simpler, environmentally sensitive, healthier, and more fulfilling lifestyle.
But this is not just a book about switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs. As a Christianity Today reviewer put it, "What I took away from Sleeth's book had less to do with the specifics of energy use and recycling than the hope that there is a better way to live as families: that it is possible to detoxify our technologized and hypermediated homes, and that our children will thank us for it."
"Serve God, Save the Planet" is highly recommended for those who want to go beyond low-flow showerheads and reusable shopping bags. It's for those who want to more fully explore what lies at the intersection of faith and the environment.
