Review
Spirit and Nature is superb. The message here is that the human community and the natural world will go into the future as a single sacred community, or both will perish on the way.--Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth

Spirit and Nature- an important book for our troubled times,
By Phil the Photographer "Kodak Digital Lover" (Canton, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spirit and Nature: Why the Environment is a Religious Issue--An Interfaith Dialogue (Paperback)
With Global Warming on the minds of all wise people, this book helps to clarify the argument between nature and religion, and supports why caring for our planet is a religious issue, a moral issue and a reason for all earth-loving and earth-living people to stand up, take notice and take action. This book was helpful in clarifying this issue when i had to defend my own gardening and landscaping choices to my local town government. Choosing to care for the earth is a 1st ammendment right and this book helps to prove it. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!
