Review Quotes
"Human beings have become the predominant destructive force on earth. With power of hands and minds amplified by machines, our impact exceeds that of great floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. The time has come when we can envisage the end of nature; the time has come to realize that we are able to destroy the earth."
"The book is a commentary on the Evangelical Declaration on the Care of Creation [and] does a good task of unpacking the various aspects of the Declaration. I found the book very easy to read and interesting to read as the various authors write from different perspectives."
