Earthwise is about living in harmony with the natural world around us and sharing the joy of this living.
Sadly, our ways of life in today's global economy have led to increasing land and habitat destruction, pollution, species extinction, buildup of "greenhouse gases," and other degradations of the earth. But rather than grovel and wring our hands in despair, lifelong creation care scientist Calvin B. DeWitt suggests we discover a joyful, positive attitude about working together for good in this world. Looking forward in hope, we can make changes and take positive, lasting action that is more in harmony with the way the world works and is meant to be. This book, now in its third edition, helps to provide us and our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and fellow citizens with practical information and ideas to become truly "earthwise."

The Subtitle Says It Well
By M. Z. Webster
Unlike much of the modern talk about man's destruction of the environment, this book lives up to its subtitle by taking a hopeful approach to looking at humanity's responsibility towards this world.
DeWitt's first chapter begins by looking at the wonders of God's created universe and meditating on some of the incredible beauty we can observe and learn about. I found this a wonderful start to the book. Rather than make a quick acknowledgement of God's creative splendor and then move on to talk about how people screwed it up, DeWitt devotes the whole first chapter to reflecting and delighting in the marvel of the created world.
After that he lays down 7 primary areas where creation has been degraded, specifying things like land conversion and species extinctions. In this chapter he summarizes some of the major issues where people have not been caring for creation.
In the second half of the book, he examines a number of Bible passages that relate to God (and people's) attitude towards the creation, and then DeWitt lays down a theological perspective of creation care. The book ends by encouraging readers to practically implement and discuss what has been read with others. There are a helpful number of specific examples of how creation care can practically be carried out.
There were two things I, as an evangelical, found refreshing about DeWitt's book. First, though he is not necessarily a Biblical scholar, the majority of the Scripture passages he referred to and used, seemed to be handled with some care. There were a few times where I felt he may have pulled passages out of their original context and stretched their meaning. However, it was clear that DeWitt was NOT someone who disregards the Bible and was merely trying to make inroads into the Christian community. He clearly loves God, loves the Bible, and has allowed the Bible to impact his understanding of the natural world and how he cares for creation.
Second, I found it helpful that DeWitt did not bog down this book with dense statistics. This is not a scientific defense of various problems that are happening with our earth. It is more of an introduction to a Biblical approach to caring for the creation. I was glad that DeWitt stayed clear of technical jargon in seeking to communicate to the average person. Certainly, this book will not make everyone happy, but DeWitt communicated well with his primary audience I believe.
I found this book helpful and plan to refer back to it in the future.

Excellent Educational took for teaching Creation Care
By Paula Frakes
This is a great tool for Christian to utilize in sharing how we are to care for the earth that God has blessed us with. Great resources and ideas for how to share this information with all age groups in your place of worship. I even sent this book to Europe for some Christian friends of mine there to share with their church in Austria. This should be apart of all educational options in Christian churches everywhere!
