Noah's Promise: Building an Ark for Today

More about the book

By heeding God's call to build an ark, Noah saved a small band of people and animals from extinction. After the great flood, God promised that he'd never again destroy the earth and sealed the covenant with a rainbow. In the biblical story, Noah accepts the covenant in silence. In this retelling of the story, Noah speaks back, promising that humans will not destroy the earth either. But today, the earth's biosphere is in crisis. There is an urgent need for humans to avert a climate catastrophe. Can we renew that covenant to never again destroy the world and reunite the nations of the earth to build an ark for today?
