In this little gem of a book, David Monaco invites the reader to bring a biblical lens to reflections on the awesome beauty of creation, destructive human interactions with it, and the necessity for conversion that leads to responsible actions as stewards of this immense gift of God. His infectious love for the created world lures us into wanting to do all in our power to care for the beloved planet and all its inhabitants.
Drawing thoughtfully from numerous biblical texts and using Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’ and apostolic exhortation Laudate Deum as points of reference, Monaco’s book issues a compelling call to take urgent action to save our “common home,” planet earth, becoming stewards of God’s creation. The value of this book cannot be praised enough.
With this little book, Father David Monaco has provided a wise, lucid, and biblically grounded set of conversations about some of the most pressing concerns of our time.
