Dick Tripp, in this very comprehensive expression of the biblical mandate of caring for God's creation, has provided Christians with a detailed biblical approach to the growing crisis in our environment, its causes, the role of the Christian church, and the challenge that lies before us all. Dick's work provides the biblical and spiritual motivation we need to move forward at this critical time. Readers of this well-researched and intelligently argued resource will be given an irresistible biblical vision and mandate to redeem what is being despoiled. —From the Foreword by Archbishop David Moxon
