Changing the Climate: applying the Bible in a climate emergency 
By Debbie, David and Jamie Hawker  
Hawker, BRF, £9.99 
​
The climate crisis is one of the most important issues of our time, threatening lives and livelihoods. The  Bible teaches us that God the Creator put humans on  the Earth to take care of it; to show love to all, and to  care for the poor and vulnerable. 

This workbook shows how the Bible is relevant to  
environmentalism, and how we can all play our part in limiting the negative  effects of climate change. Each of the 12 chapters looks at a particular  Bible passage, connects it with climate action, poses questions and suggests  practical steps that can be taken. ​
