". . . let diverse young peace and justice activists and visionaries instruct you. Their fresh biblical exegesis, interlaced with the experience of coming home to their bioregions and its waters of life, will inspire you from front to back in this remarkable volume" -Larry Rasmussen, Union Theological Seminary "Myers brings a much-needed prophetic voice to the church with his call to watershed discipleship. The way he frames the issues-along with hopeful actions-and then engages an array of younger voices makes this anthology poignant. The book helps the church rediscover that the bioregional lens is critical to practicing the good news of the gospel. This material will be required reading in the collegiate courses I teach and with congregations seeking a new paradigm for living out their faith." -Luke Gascho, Executive Director, Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center, Goshen College; Leader, Mennonite Creation Care Network "This book is important not just because it offers some shred of hope for the future of the church, but because it shows Christians who are relevant allies in the struggle for the planet." -Laurel Dykstra, Salal + Cedar Watershed Discipleship Community, Coast Salish Territory "Ched Myers and the team of young authors he has assembled offer in this volume a Spirit-inspired, theologically grounded call to action that is filled with passionate hope." -Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and the Graduate Theological Union
