God Doesn't Do Waste
Redeeming the Whole of LifeMeet 'the Bookless bunch', a very ordinary family who went green.
When God challenged him over his attitude to the environment, Dave Bookless did a total rethink. This led to major changes, not only in his family's lifestyle but also eventually in his career: full-time involvement in the global A Rocha movement that aims to care for God’s fragile world.
But in once sense the book isn’t about going green at all. It’s a personal account of a life lived in relationship. It’s about roots and belonging, suffering and healing, identity and meaning and faith and doubt. It’s about how in God's economy nothing need be wasted. It’s about the messiness that each human being wades through in every area of life, and about a God who can take all that seems most wasteful and useless and recycle it into something of infinite worth.
