Greetings!
Shalom!
I'm happy to share with you that my Green Church books, part of a larger series on the care of Creation, are now available. With these books, you can introduce your congregation to a six-week, church-wide study on the care of Creation. Launch it as a sign of resurrection hope for the Creation, or in honor of Earth Day, or as an engaging and interesting summer study. Use it to build bridges to younger generations, and to the community at large.
Please click on the links below for more information and to order your copies.

Green Church Series from Abingdon Press
Green Church: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rejoice! lays out the biblical foundations and ecological necessity for creation
care. Woven throughout the scriptural
witness and scientific evidence are engaging personal stories of Sabbath,
gardening, recycling, camping, and the power of preaching. Green Facts, Spotlight on Science, online
options and more are included. An
accompanying Leader's Guide makes this a great 4-6 week small group study.
Seven Simple Steps to Green Your Church
leads you on a 12-month journey to green your church from the heart of worship
to the church grounds. You can choose a
light green, medium green or deep green approach. Success stories from a wide variety of
churches demonstrate what's possible.
Burst: Green Church is a booklet penned by Tim Gossett to engage youth in the idea that good stewardship of God's earth is an act of faith. Comes in a package of 5 student booklets. A Leader's Guide is also available.
Green Church: Caretakers of God's Creation is a six-week study for kids by Suzann Wade and Daphna Flegal that will help children develop an early appreciation for clean air, clean water, abundant wildlife and a liveable planet. And their role as stewards of God's good earth.
