Product Description

Saying Yes to Life lifts our focus from every day (and perfectly natural) concerns to issues that are impacting millions of lives around the world. As people made in the image of God, we are entrusted to look after what God has made – to share in the joy and creativity of God in making a difference for good. Ruth Valerio imaginatively draws on the Days of Creation (Genesis 1 - 2.2) in relating themes of light, water, land, the seasons, other creatures, humankind, Sabbath rest and resurrection hope to matters of environmental, ethical and social concern.

Foundational to the book are what it means to be human and, in particular, to be a follower of Jesus during Lent. Voices from other continents are heard throughout, and each chapter ends with discussion questions, a prayer, and specially commissioned art to aid action and contemplation.

Introduction: In the Begining

1. Let there be Light

2. Let the Waters Be Separated

3. Let the Land Produce Vegetation

4. Let There Be Lights in the Sky

5. Let the Waters Teem With Living Creatures and Let the Birds Fly

6. Let the Land Produce Living Creatures and Lut Us Make Humankind in Our Own Image
