Description: "Christians have God's mandate to be good stewards of his creation, but it is a challenge to discover a wise and biblical perspective on issues of creation care, apart from the current political rhetoric. 'Care of Creation' offers a biblical foundation and practical guidance about how Christians can personally exercise responsible care of God's good creation". --from publisher description
