This is an important book.
Some two millennia ago, the early church was described as people who were turning the world upside down by proclaiming Jesus’s unique kingship. Although we are currently being instructed that it is Darwinism which has transformed the world, Ruth Valerio’s book reminds us that the gospel is the only true transformative power. She also reminds us that there is not one inch of everyday life of which Jesus does not say, ‘This is mine’.
In 26 highly accessible chapters from A to Z, she discusses practical topics of everyday life. In bite-sized chunks, she shows us how the Bible encourages us to live more responsibly. Action points and resources are included at the end of each chapter. Subjects covered include creation care, fair trade, tourism, money and investment (topical subjects), jobs, volunteers, young people and much more.
