Book Review – Care for Creation

We hear and see the phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” daily.  It’s woven through the programming on the Discovery Channel and Planet Earth, and just about any blog you surf through has the phrase plastered in the header.  

“The seventh commandment enjoins respect for the integrity of creation. Animals, like plants and inanimate beings, are by nature destined for the common good of past, present, and future humanity. Use of the mineral, vegetable, and animal resources of the universe cannot be divorced from respect for moral imperatives. Man’s dominion over inanimate and other living beings granted by the Creator is not absolute; it is limited by concern for the quality of life of his neighbor, including generations to come; it requires a religious respect for the integrity of creation.”

In this meaningful and inspiring book, Christy Baldwin gives parents a way to share the message of stewardship with their children.  The charming colorful illustrations are delightful, and the Bible verses enforce God’s call to stewardship.  This book is a powerful tool for families to explore the notion of how living responsibly can make a difference in our world, and how it can preserve and protect our resources for generations to come.

Care for Creation would make a wonderful gift for a young child!
