"Environmental problems today are pervasive and, at times, overwhelming. It is hard to know what to feel about these problems, let alone what to do. In short, it is hard to have hope. The gospel of Jesus Christ, however, is 'good news.' It offers hope in the face of daunting challenges. It gives believers the courage to confront realities that are otherwise tempting to ignore. The restored gospel of Jesus Christ offers vital insight and inspiring principles to aid believers in their quest to be good stewards of the Creation"-- Provided by publisher.
