From the opening pages of Genesis to the final vision of Revelation, the Bible reveals a profound truth: God created the earth, called it good, and entrusted it to humanity to tend and protect. Yet in today's world, many Christians have overlooked this sacred calling, seeing environmental concerns as separate from-or even in conflict with-faith.
In Tending the Garden: A Christian Call to Care for Creation, Kim Everson brings together scripture, science, and personal experience to show that stewardship of the earth is a fundamental part of Christian discipleship. Drawing on her own deep love for nature as a lifelong hiker and her expertise as a researcher, Everson explores:
✅ Biblical foundations for creation care-why God calls us to protect the world He made
✅ How sin disrupted the relationship between humanity and creation-and how we can restore it
✅ Practical ways to live out faithful stewardship-in our homes, churches, and communities
✅ The joy of reconnecting with God through nature-seeing His fingerprints in forests, rivers, and mountains
✅ How creation care is an act of love-toward God, future generations, and the world's most vulnerable people
Whether you are a nature lover, a church leader, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of what the Bible says about the environment, this book will inspire you to see creation care not as an obligation, but as a privilege and an act of worship.
