In today’s culture, we tend to see one of two extremes when it comes to environmentalism. We see a lot of “earth worship,” and talk about needing to protect the earth for its own sake. And, as an apparent knee-jerk reaction to that, we see a lot of Christians acting as though it doesn’t matter what we do to the environment. Unfortunately, we don’t often see a balanced biblical perspective: God has given humanity stewardship of the rest of His creation, and we need to be faithful stewards, as best we can.
Care for Creation is like a breath of fresh air (bad pun intended) in this area. It’s a book about environmental stewardship – from a Christian perspective. The book is 32 pages long, and each two-page spread focuses on a different aspect of environmental stewardship: picking up trash, recycling, conserving water, etc.
One page of each spread is a full-color illustration. These are lovely, “soft” illustrations. (The cover is indicative of the interior illustrations.) The other page of each spread contains a short bit of text explaining the issue, and the action we can take. This is followed by a relevant Scripture verse. The Scriptures are taken from a variety of translations (all clearly marked). I thought one or two were a bit of a stretch but, for the most part, they’re very appropriate. This is helpful for teaching our children why they should be responsible stewards of our natural resources.
I am very thankful to finally have such a resource available for teaching this important topic to my children!

Thanks for this review, Rachel…I want to get this book for my kids! Looks like an excellent resource.
Rachel, I really appreciated your review. It’s all about finding balance in anything in life, and I think it’s such an appropriate concept when discussing the environmental movement. If we can just remember to live in moderation with the Earth, we’re halfway there when it comes to protecting our planet.
