How to Survive a World in Crisis (And Not Grow Weary of Doing Good) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Our world feels like it's being pulled deeper into crisis - climate and ecological destruction, wars, political and community breakdown, social media overload...



It can be easy to disengage, to despair of ever being able to make a difference, and give up. But now more than ever we need to stay resilient and keep responding to the call of our Christian faith to work for justice, peace, social cohesion and the flourishing of the natural world. How do we engage with the reality of what is happening in a way that doesn't lead to paralysis but instead to hope and action?



This book roots us in the biblical vision of a re-ordered world where suffering is no more and nature and humans thrive together. It instills in us the values and character we need to embed in our beings to continue engaging, while giving us the practical tools to stay healthy and resilient so that we 'don't grow weary of doing good'.

Autorenporträt

Ruth Valerio's vision is to inspire and equip people to a whole-life response to environmental breakdown and poverty, helping build a movement that brings about lasting change on the issues that impact the poorest and most vulnerable, and that creates a flourishing natural world. She is Programmes, Partnerships and Advocacy Director for Embrace the Middle East - an organisation that works to support Middle East Christians as they tackle poverty and injustice in vulnerable and marginalised communities. Ruth has a particular interest in climate and environmental issues and longs to see the culture of the Church change so that caring for the earth becomes an integral part of church life, rather than an optional extra. To that end, she has held roles as Global Advocacy and Influencing Director at Tearfund and Churches and Theology Director for A Rocha UK, an organisation that works for the protection and restoration of the natural world. She is the co-founder of the Oikos Network: a global network of peer mentoring groups for environmental leaders from countries across the world. Ruth is Canon Theologian at Rochester Cathedral. She has written extensively on justice, environment and lifestyle issues, enjoys public speaking and is a regular media contributor. Her books include the bestselling Saying Yes to Life.
