Read an extract
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 one sense this 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, faith and doubt. It's about how in God's economy nothing need be wasted.
This is a story about the messiness that each human being wades through in every area of their lives, and about a God who can take all that seems most wasteful and useless, and recycle it into something of infinite worth.
Commendations
'This story, both of A Rocha UK and of the 'Bookless Bunch', is wonderfully and movingly told. It brought tears to my eyes and inspired me in my desire to love God and look after all that he has made. Dave has been one of the pioneers in calling the Church to pick up its mandate to take care of God's world and it has been my privilege to work with him and learn from him. I have no hesitation in encouraging you to read this book - you won't regret it!' - Ruth Valerio, author of 'L is for lifestyle'
