Serve God, Save the Planet by J. Matthew Sleeth, M.D. Order online from Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble
Finalist, 2008 Christianity Today Book Award in Christianity & Culture
Dr. Sleeth and his family lived in a big house, had two luxury cars, loads of money and lots of stuff. As chief of the medical staff at a large hospital, Sleeth was living the American Dream--until he realized that something was terribly wrong. As he saw patient after patient suffering from cancer, asthma, and other chronic diseases, he began to understand that the Earth was in trouble.
Feeling helpless, he turned to his faith for gidance. He discovered how the timeless lessons of personal responsibility, simplicity and stewardship taught in the Bible could be applied to modern life. The Sleeths have since sold their big home and given away more than half of what they once owned.
In Serve God, Save the Planet, Sleeth shares the joy of adopting a less materialistic lifestyle and reveals what was easy and what was hard about the changes his family has made. Drawing on science and religion, Sleeth builds a bridge between environmentalists and mainstram Christians. He and his families are harbingers of the creation care movement, which calls on all those who love God to love our planet. Sleeth shares how material downscaling led his family to healthier lifestyles, stronger relationships, and richer spritual lies. Serve God, Save the Planet is more than a book: it is a prescription for taking personal responsibility for global survival.
