Part of the Cover to Cover Bible study guide series, this book takes us through Proverbs. It breaks it down into some of its main themes, which include the power of speech, family relationships, the call to respond to people in need, money and work. This is much to our loss, for Proverbs contains a bounty of treasures waiting to be discovered.
Globalisation and consumerism affect every area of our lives. But it's not just about shopping; these powerful forces shape our personal lives, how we relate to one another, how we view the world - and they are having a seriously detrimental impact both on the lives of the global poor, and on the health of the planet itself. Every Christian in every generation down through the history of the church has had to work out what it means to be a follower of Jesus in their particular culture; for us in the twenty-first century, we must think about discipleship in a globalised, consumerist context. Environmentalist and theologian Ruth Valerio examines these issues in a book that is intellectually rigorous yet practical, and as inspiring as it is challenging.

Ruth Valerio's book is perfect for individuals and groups to think, reflect, pray and be challenged together.' JUSTIN WELBY, from the Foreword
Kniha se zaobírá problematikou konzumerismu, ekologie a globalizace, které výrazně ovlivňují náš každodenní život a v této souvislosti je návodem, jak co nejlépe uchopit své křesťanské poslání a svou pozemskou službu. Autorka dává nastolené otázky do širšího teologického a filozofického kontextu, kdy se věnuje také biblickému odkazu či myšlenkám významných teologických autorit. V tomto duchu pak uvažuje nad naším chováním k této planetě a výzvami, které před námi stojí.
