Green Like God:
Unlocking the Divine Plan for Our Planet
By Jonathan Merritt (Faith Words, 2010)

“Transformation, redemption, compassion and creation care are not options for us; they are our calling. Along with creation care are poverty and justice, hunger and war. Hurting orphans and hungry grandmothers wait for us to raise our voices. God’s Word demands that we minister in culture, politics and media. Everyday we wake up and are faced with a choice to do nothing or make a difference. We either follow our own plans for life or pursue the divine plan for our planet. We either ignore the desire of God’s heart for our world or embrace it. Let’s clinch the task God has given us and transform this place called earth into a garden where the creation will sing hymns about the Creator and the Gospel of Jesus Christ will flourish.” –Jonathan Merritt, from the book
