Synopsis

Have you ever looked at the effects of climate change and the apathy of so many around you and wondered, "What are we missing here?"

Climate activist Kyle Meyaard-Schaap understands this feeling from personal experience. But in his years of speaking to and equipping Christians to work for climate action, he's seen the trend begin to shift. More and more young Christians are waking up to the realities of climate change. They want to help, but they're not sure how.

Through stories from the field, theological and scriptural exploration, and practical advice, Meyaard-Schaap offers hope to Christians paralyzed by the scale of the crisis, helping us turn our paralysis into meaningful action. Following Jesus in a Warming World is a field guide for Christian climate action—one grounded not in a sense of guilt or drudgery, but in the joy of caring for creation.

Thank you to IVP for providing a review copy ahead of an interview with the author. Meyaard-Schaap presents a popular-level argument for Christian engagement in climate action.

Goodreads review by Sarah on April 26, 2023

By the time I became a Christian in college, the foundation of my love for the natural world had been laid. Pastors and teachers taught me many things, but the occasional sermon on the beginning of Genesis with a token mention of our role as stewards of the earth was the most that I ever remember he......more

I wanted to love this book and to adopt it as my own personal guidebook for environmental ministry. In a lot of ways IT IS the book I hoped it would be as it deals with the importance of environmental ministry and creation care by discussing how it’s our duty to take care of all living things (from......more
