 | Unique Perspective on the Environmental Movement Nov 15, 2009 |
A few years ago some folks started asking the question, What Would Jesus Drive? I'm not sure how seriously the question was supposed to be taken, as it was part of a campaign to demonize SUVs and the gas-guzzling ways of the people who drive them, but author Richard Gasaway has offered his answer to this question, and I don't think it matters what kind of car it is, as long as it is powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
This book approaches the environmental movement from the unique perspective of Christians seeking to act as stewards of God's creation. He calls for the perceived conflict on this issue between left and right to be ignored in favor of doing what is right for the planet and what is right in God's eyes, regardless of one's political affiliation. I think this is an important point, and one that does not receive much attention. The debate is always framed in the media as left versus right, and those on the right, who have not taken the time to educate themselves, assume (wrongly) that because Al Gore advocates it, it must be wrong.
The author does a great job in this book of appealing to this demographic, and laying out a case for stewardship that transcends politics. He covers all aspects of the movement, from pursuing alternative energy sources, to lessening our dependence on foreign energy for national security reasons, to the environmental impact of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. But he keeps coming back to hydrogen as the clean solution to our dirty addiction to oil -- and that cleanliness is next to godliness.
An Inconvenient Purpose carves out a well-defined niche for Christians in the environmental movement, and acknowledges their obligation to participate, it tackles the complicated issues involved in very accessible layman's terms, all while offering an optimistic view of the future and the path we should all be following. | | |  | From the Author Sep 21, 2007 |
They tickle. They snore. They are great cooks. They give bundles of love. And they are adored by their littlest relatives. There's something very special about a grandmother!
Why Does Grandma Have a Wibble? celebrates the love, humor and mysteries of a grandmother in an Art Linkletter "Kids Say the Darndest Things" style. From "Do you change your socks every day?" to "I love it when she holds my hand," the more than 450 youthful observations by children ages 4-12 that fill these pages are timeless and most likely are ones that your own grandchild would ask you or tell you--if given the chance. Whether you're new to the "Grandmother Club" or you're a seasoned veteran, you will find these pages filled with equal parts of laughter and tears.
The author was inspired to compile this book when her seven year old son, Noah, gently admired the loose skin on his grandmother's neck and said: "Grandma, I like your wibble. Mom, why does Grandma have a wibble?"
