\"John<\/p>\n

In her chapter at the end of\u00a0Living Radical Discipleship<\/em>, Laura Yoder refers to an unpublished manuscript by Sam Berry, tentatively titled\u00a0Stott on the Environment<\/em>. John Stott was known as a bible teacher, author, and leader of leaders, but also a birdwatcher. This book,\u00a0John Stott on Creation Care<\/em>, is part compendium of writings, part tracing of Stott’s journey on this issue and changing his mind, and part resource for preachers. It was a privilege to work on the book – a book that in some ways makes no sense, and in other ways is urgent and timely.<\/p>\n

This is the first book IVP published that is fully recyclable – right down to the inks and glue. That’s actually quite a feat – usually we and other presses focus on recyclable paper and board, but as we read this book and were impacted by Stott’s challenge to be faithful to scripture, this seemed like the right thing to do. As I say when I lend it or give it to people, if you don’t like it, at least please recycle it.<\/p>\n

This is a book for all sorts of people,\u00a0perhaps most particularly Christians who are wary of environmentalists\/ism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
