We are facing planet-sized challenges. Climate change and environmental crises can be pretty immobilizing, and we can fall into the temptation of thinking that we can't make a difference. But it's not just about what we can do on our own to make a difference. It's about what we can do when we mobilize together as a movement and combine for community action.Activist Ben Lowe calls the present generation to come together and care for the earth in a way that recent generations have not. Telling real-life stories of community organizing on college campuses across the nation, Lowe shows us that little things can make a big difference when we all work together. We now have an opportunity to show the world what it looks like when Christians care for the planet God gave us, so that future generations can live sustainably. This is our moment. This is our issue. Come join the green revolution.
I strongly recommend this book. I really enjoyed learning about the creation care movement through Ben Lowe's expert knowledge of the subject. This book is specific about pratical ways that the reader can make a positive difference in his or her environment. The narrative is filled with real-life examples and applications of the principles that Ben puts forth. While this book is written from a strong Christian perspective, it should be accessible to anyone who wants to learn about enviornmental issues. I really enjoyed reading it, and I think you will too.
A must read for all stewards of God's creation

Ben Lowe is putting an end to the idea that environmentalism is just a secular issue. "Green Revolution" gives us a much needed reminder of the Christian responsibility to be active stewards of creation. I recently read this book with a group of college students and found it stimulating, challenging, and motivating. The balance of scientific information and personal narrative make this a very readable book. I highly recommend reading "Green Revolution".
Fantastic!

This is a book that's been needed for a LONG time! Ben is inspirational, informative, and even occasionally witty in his call to action. Every Christian college student should read this book, then go outside and DO something about the environment. Good job Ben!
Great book!

This is an amazing book! It meets you where you are no matter what you think or where you are in your environmental stance. It is strong and challenging, yet not pushy. Somehow Lowe is able to include personal stories, scientific facts, lofty visions, as well as practical ideas, and is able to support it with sound biblical theology. I would highly recommend this book!
Highly Recommended!

Ben Lowe's Green Revolution is an important and timely reminder of the mandate to care for God's creation. The God who reconciles us to Himself through Christ is also reconciling all things, including the natural environment that He has created, and Lowe reminds us that we have the privilege and the responsibility to be a part of that reconciliatory work. With stories and case studies that drive the point home, Lowe provides lucid, theologically sound insight into our present situation and practical ideas for moving forward. All that, and it's an enjoyable, compelling read. I highly recommend it.
