It was for a substantial section in \u003cem\u003eCrusade\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, produced by a group of us within the Evangelical Alliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, all these decades later, Christians are yet again facing up to managing waste, reducing their carbon footprint and helping to save the planet. This time it’s become a genuine emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis powerful book explores climate change and the need for action in clearly written sections: The problem; Why we should act; What we can do. Within each of these three sections there are chapters on such issues as Want, Hope in action, A time to plant and Mustard seeds (and young people) matter. Each chapter starts with two or three Bible passages and includes a brilliant section for deeper thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebbie and David Hawker are well respected psychologists with doctorates in the subject. Instead of producing an intellectual book, they have written in a clear, easy to understand style.

At the end of each chapter there is a section called ‘Jamie’s tips’. He also writes a glossary of terms at the end of the book. His ideas are thoughtful and easily understood. Jamie is a fan of Greta Thunberg, the climate activist. Like her, he has been involved in actions for climate change. As a result of his efforts for the environment, his Christian family caught the enthusiasm and are now vocal advocates for such change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis excellent book is great for use by individuals, families and church groups. It will be ideal for parents, teachers in primary and secondary schools and Christian youth leaders. It contains plenty of important scientific facts and has a comprehensive appendix on ways to understand climate change. Hopefully it will help to counter the fake news circulating in some Christian circles that climate change isn’t true. Sadly, a book with such detailed material lacks an index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI strongly recommend \u003cem\u003eChanging the Climate.\u003c\/em\u003e It’s a very useful tool for people who have a deep concern about the future of our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Roger Day, retired psychotherapist and play therapist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWendy Bebbington, creative director of Newenglish design agency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'This is an easy to read book, clearly laid out - I'm reading it just for me, but can see how good it would be to use in groups.

Review by Hannah Gray, June 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a straight-talking, down-to-earth book written by a married couple and their teenage son. Debbie and David Hawker are psychologists who work with mission organisations and their son, Jamie, is a teenage climate activist. The book has two subtitles ‘Applying the Bible in a climate emergency’ and ‘A resource for families and churches’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter profiles a different Christian charity working to alleviate the effects of climate change amongst vulnerable communities around the world and highlights an inspiring testimony from a young climate activist in diverse cultures and contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese real-life stories feature along the way, as the authors take the reader on a journey from the roots of the climate emergency, through the creation care narrative of the Bible, to the call for all Christians to wake up to the urgency and scale of action required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplying the Bible in a climate emergency\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe writers frame the climate emergency problem around our spiritual condition, beginning Part 1 with two chapters (Waste and Want) that describe how our collective greed and wastefulness has created global environmental problems. In Part 2 they explain the Christian imperative for creation care, in four chapters organised around core Biblical themes of Faith, Love, Hope and Wisdom. The final section, Part 3 ‘What we can do?’, takes inspiration from scripture to suggest changes to travel and diet, to boost biodiversity, and to consider politics and protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole book is grounded in scripture. Apparently, every book of the Bible is referenced somewhere in the text – but I will take their word for it! Each chapter begins with a Bible passage that has relevance to the topic addressed, and sometimes the authors offer a modern adaptation of the passage to suggest how it could read for society today. I found these climate-nuanced translations of familiar verses and parables particularly thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also grounded in science. Evidence is laid out from around the world to show how planet and people are suffering from climate change. The information is clear and accessible; the colourful diagrams, photos and ‘Did you know?’ boxes make the pages visually interesting as well as aiding comprehension. For those who want to dig deeper, there are boxes for ‘deep thinkers’, an appendix that explains the science of climate change, and another which sets out carbon emission and climate vulnerability data for different countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA resource for families and churches\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging the climate spells out the urgency of the environmental problems we are all facing, whilst also making a compelling biblical case to take action. Yet the greatest strength is the practical ideas and tips listed at the end of each chapter. They range from quick and easy changes (eg re-use wrapping paper, be vegetarian once a week) to the more challenging lifestyle choices like how we heat our homes and whether to take a no-fly pledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall groups could effectively journey together through the book, discussing issues highlighted in the green question boxes that punctuate the text. There are videos and websites mentioned in Appendix D for extra content in group study settings. Each chapter finishes with a box to write what you will attempt to do in the next month. Being accountable in a small group should be an effective tool for embedding change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA humble tone and a brave attitude\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is informative, without being preachy, and encouraging, without being naïve. Importantly, the authors are humble, sharing what they could have done differently and how even determined eco-warriors can always do more. They acknowledge that individual change will not be enough to combat the climate emergency; there needs to be system change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter ‘Moving mountains: large scale action’ bravely faces up to contentious topics like nuclear power and population growth – ‘\u003cem\u003ehaving one less child would reduce greenhouse gases 75 times more than adopting a vegan diet\u003c\/em\u003e’. The controversial group Extinction Rebellion (XR) features as well: ‘\u003cem\u003emembers of XR have upset people, but so did Gandhi, civil rights activists, suffragettes and Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e’. I think sometimes as Christians we tiptoe around these issues and I appreciate the refreshing assertiveness found throughout the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book finishes with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ, pointing out that some parts of the body are already suffering from climate change. They assert that each Christian needs to play their part towards a solution, whether that is praying, protesting, fundraising, innovating… what will your part be in fixing the climate emergency? This book offers plenty of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Hannah Gray for JRI\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransforming Ministry, winter 2022. Review by Roger Thornington\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book by the Hawker family – two clinical psychologists and their 14 year old son – is marketed as a ‘resource for families and churches considering climate change’. The book is designed as a workbook with three parts – ‘The problem’, ‘Why we should act’ and ‘What can we do?’ It concludes with five reference appendices and a glossary. All twelve chapters follow similar formats – a relevant Bible passage, a brief exposition and space to record your response. Options for action are reviewed – Extinction Rebellion is mentioned with approval, though with a caveat regarding its ethos. ‘Deep thinkers’ sections offer further details with some practical tips the authors have used. A brief thematic prayer is followed by related input from an organisation involved in addressing issues raised in the chapter, which concludes with ‘Jamie’s 12 tips for action’ and space to record your response. Does the book achieve the authors’ aim? Will you find it useful? I think families may benefit from reading it but for active ministers, I am not so sure.

This time it’s become a genuine emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis powerful book explores climate change and the need for action in clearly written sections: The problem; Why we should act; What we can do. Within each of these three sections there are chapters on such issues as Want, Hope in action, A time to plant and Mustard seeds (and young people) matter. Each chapter starts with two or three Bible passages and includes a brilliant section for deeper thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebbie and David Hawker are well respected psychologists with doctorates in the subject.

Jamie is a fan of Greta Thunberg, the climate activist. Like her, he has been involved in actions for climate change. As a result of his efforts for the environment, his Christian family caught the enthusiasm and are now vocal advocates for such change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis excellent book is great for use by individuals, families and church groups. It will be ideal for parents, teachers in primary and secondary schools and Christian youth leaders.

Hopefully it will help to counter the fake news circulating in some Christian circles that climate change isn’t true.

Review by Hannah Gray, June 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a straight-talking, down-to-earth book written by a married couple and their teenage son. Debbie and David Hawker are psychologists who work with mission organisations and their son, Jamie, is a teenage climate activist. The book has two subtitles ‘Applying the Bible in a climate emergency’ and ‘A resource for families and churches’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter profiles a different Christian charity working to alleviate the effects of climate change amongst vulnerable communities around the world and highlights an inspiring testimony from a young climate activist in diverse cultures and contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese real-life stories feature along the way, as the authors take the reader on a journey from the roots of the climate emergency, through the creation care narrative of the Bible, to the call for all Christians to wake up to the urgency and scale of action required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplying the Bible in a climate emergency\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe writers frame the climate emergency problem around our spiritual condition, beginning Part 1 with two chapters (Waste and Want) that describe how our collective greed and wastefulness has created global environmental problems. In Part 2 they explain the Christian imperative for creation care, in four chapters organised around core Biblical themes of Faith, Love, Hope and Wisdom. The final section, Part 3 ‘What we can do?’, takes inspiration from scripture to suggest changes to travel and diet, to boost biodiversity, and to consider politics and protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole book is grounded in scripture. Apparently, every book of the Bible is referenced somewhere in the text – but I will take their word for it! Each chapter begins with a Bible passage that has relevance to the topic addressed, and sometimes the authors offer a modern adaptation of the passage to suggest how it could read for society today. I found these climate-nuanced translations of familiar verses and parables particularly thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also grounded in science. Evidence is laid out from around the world to show how planet and people are suffering from climate change. The information is clear and accessible; the colourful diagrams, photos and ‘Did you know?’ boxes make the pages visually interesting as well as aiding comprehension. For those who want to dig deeper, there are boxes for ‘deep thinkers’, an appendix that explains the science of climate change, and another which sets out carbon emission and climate vulnerability data for different countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA resource for families and churches\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging the climate spells out the urgency of the environmental problems we are all facing, whilst also making a compelling biblical case to take action. Yet the greatest strength is the practical ideas and tips listed at the end of each chapter. They range from quick and easy changes (eg re-use wrapping paper, be vegetarian once a week) to the more challenging lifestyle choices like how we heat our homes and whether to take a no-fly pledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall groups could effectively journey together through the book, discussing issues highlighted in the green question boxes that punctuate the text. There are videos and websites mentioned in Appendix D for extra content in group study settings. Each chapter finishes with a box to write what you will attempt to do in the next month. Being accountable in a small group should be an effective tool for embedding change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA humble tone and a brave attitude\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is informative, without being preachy, and encouraging, without being naïve. Importantly, the authors are humble, sharing what they could have done differently and how even determined eco-warriors can always do more. They acknowledge that individual change will not be enough to combat the climate emergency; there needs to be system change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter ‘Moving mountains: large scale action’ bravely faces up to contentious topics like nuclear power and population growth – ‘\u003cem\u003ehaving one less child would reduce greenhouse gases 75 times more than adopting a vegan diet\u003c\/em\u003e’. The controversial group Extinction Rebellion (XR) features as well: ‘\u003cem\u003emembers of XR have upset people, but so did Gandhi, civil rights activists, suffragettes and Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e’. I think sometimes as Christians we tiptoe around these issues and I appreciate the refreshing assertiveness found throughout the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book finishes with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ, pointing out that some parts of the body are already suffering from climate change. They assert that each Christian needs to play their part towards a solution, whether that is praying, protesting, fundraising, innovating… what will your part be in fixing the climate emergency?

The book is designed as a workbook with three parts – ‘The problem’, ‘Why we should act’ and ‘What can we do?’ It concludes with five reference appendices and a glossary. All twelve chapters follow similar formats – a relevant Bible passage, a brief exposition and space to record your response. Options for action are reviewed – Extinction Rebellion is mentioned with approval, though with a caveat regarding its ethos. ‘Deep thinkers’ sections offer further details with some practical tips the authors have used. A brief thematic prayer is followed by related input from an organisation involved in addressing issues raised in the chapter, which concludes with ‘Jamie’s 12 tips for action’ and space to record your response. Does the book achieve the authors’ aim? Will you find it useful? I think families may benefit from reading it but for active ministers, I am not so sure. However, one thing is certain with climate change – doing nothing is not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Roger Thornington\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Within each of these three sections there are chapters on such issues as Want, Hope in action, A time to plant and Mustard seeds (and young people) matter. Each chapter starts with two or three Bible passages and includes a brilliant section for deeper thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebbie and David Hawker are well respected psychologists with doctorates in the subject.

Review by Hannah Gray, June 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a straight-talking, down-to-earth book written by a married couple and their teenage son. Debbie and David Hawker are psychologists who work with mission organisations and their son, Jamie, is a teenage climate activist. The book has two subtitles ‘Applying the Bible in a climate emergency’ and ‘A resource for families and churches’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter profiles a different Christian charity working to alleviate the effects of climate change amongst vulnerable communities around the world and highlights an inspiring testimony from a young climate activist in diverse cultures and contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese real-life stories feature along the way, as the authors take the reader on a journey from the roots of the climate emergency, through the creation care narrative of the Bible, to the call for all Christians to wake up to the urgency and scale of action required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplying the Bible in a climate emergency\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe writers frame the climate emergency problem around our spiritual condition, beginning Part 1 with two chapters (Waste and Want) that describe how our collective greed and wastefulness has created global environmental problems. In Part 2 they explain the Christian imperative for creation care, in four chapters organised around core Biblical themes of Faith, Love, Hope and Wisdom. The final section, Part 3 ‘What we can do?’, takes inspiration from scripture to suggest changes to travel and diet, to boost biodiversity, and to consider politics and protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole book is grounded in scripture. Apparently, every book of the Bible is referenced somewhere in the text – but I will take their word for it! Each chapter begins with a Bible passage that has relevance to the topic addressed, and sometimes the authors offer a modern adaptation of the passage to suggest how it could read for society today. I found these climate-nuanced translations of familiar verses and parables particularly thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also grounded in science. Evidence is laid out from around the world to show how planet and people are suffering from climate change. The information is clear and accessible; the colourful diagrams, photos and ‘Did you know?’ boxes make the pages visually interesting as well as aiding comprehension. For those who want to dig deeper, there are boxes for ‘deep thinkers’, an appendix that explains the science of climate change, and another which sets out carbon emission and climate vulnerability data for different countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA resource for families and churches\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging the climate spells out the urgency of the environmental problems we are all facing, whilst also making a compelling biblical case to take action. Yet the greatest strength is the practical ideas and tips listed at the end of each chapter. They range from quick and easy changes (eg re-use wrapping paper, be vegetarian once a week) to the more challenging lifestyle choices like how we heat our homes and whether to take a no-fly pledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall groups could effectively journey together through the book, discussing issues highlighted in the green question boxes that punctuate the text. There are videos and websites mentioned in Appendix D for extra content in group study settings. Each chapter finishes with a box to write what you will attempt to do in the next month. Being accountable in a small group should be an effective tool for embedding change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA humble tone and a brave attitude\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is informative, without being preachy, and encouraging, without being naïve. Importantly, the authors are humble, sharing what they could have done differently and how even determined eco-warriors can always do more. They acknowledge that individual change will not be enough to combat the climate emergency; there needs to be system change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter ‘Moving mountains: large scale action’ bravely faces up to contentious topics like nuclear power and population growth – ‘\u003cem\u003ehaving one less child would reduce greenhouse gases 75 times more than adopting a vegan diet\u003c\/em\u003e’. The controversial group Extinction Rebellion (XR) features as well: ‘\u003cem\u003emembers of XR have upset people, but so did Gandhi, civil rights activists, suffragettes and Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e’. I think sometimes as Christians we tiptoe around these issues and I appreciate the refreshing assertiveness found throughout the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book finishes with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ, pointing out that some parts of the body are already suffering from climate change. They assert that each Christian needs to play their part towards a solution, whether that is praying, protesting, fundraising, innovating… what will your part be in fixing the climate emergency?

Review by Roger Thornington\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book by the Hawker family – two clinical psychologists and their 14 year old son – is marketed as a ‘resource for families and churches considering climate change’. The book is designed as a workbook with three parts – ‘The problem’, ‘Why we should act’ and ‘What can we do?’ It concludes with five reference appendices and a glossary. All twelve chapters follow similar formats – a relevant Bible passage, a brief exposition and space to record your response. Options for action are reviewed – Extinction Rebellion is mentioned with approval, though with a caveat regarding its ethos. ‘Deep thinkers’ sections offer further details with some practical tips the authors have used. A brief thematic prayer is followed by related input from an organisation involved in addressing issues raised in the chapter, which concludes with ‘Jamie’s 12 tips for action’ and space to record your response. Does the book achieve the authors’ aim? Will you find it useful? I think families may benefit from reading it but for active ministers, I am not so sure.

It was for a substantial section in \u003cem\u003eCrusade\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, produced by a group of us within the Evangelical Alliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, all these decades later, Christians are yet again facing up to managing waste, reducing their carbon footprint and helping to save the planet. This time it’s become a genuine emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis powerful book explores climate change and the need for action in clearly written sections: The problem; Why we should act; What we can do. Within each of these three sections there are chapters on such issues as Want, Hope in action, A time to plant and Mustard seeds (and young people) matter. Each chapter starts with two or three Bible passages and includes a brilliant section for deeper thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDebbie and David Hawker are well respected psychologists with doctorates in the subject. Instead of producing an intellectual book, they have written in a clear, easy to understand style. Children and young people as well as adults are likely to find the book accessible as well as helpful and challenging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third contributor is David and Debbie’s 14-year-old son, Jamie. At the end of each chapter there is a section called ‘Jamie’s tips’. He also writes a glossary of terms at the end of the book. His ideas are thoughtful and easily understood. Jamie is a fan of Greta Thunberg, the climate activist. Like her, he has been involved in actions for climate change. As a result of his efforts for the environment, his Christian family caught the enthusiasm and are now vocal advocates for such change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis excellent book is great for use by individuals, families and church groups. It will be ideal for parents, teachers in primary and secondary schools and Christian youth leaders. It contains plenty of important scientific facts and has a comprehensive appendix on ways to understand climate change. Hopefully it will help to counter the fake news circulating in some Christian circles that climate change isn’t true. Sadly, a book with such detailed material lacks an index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI strongly recommend \u003cem\u003eChanging the Climate.\u003c\/em\u003e It’s a very useful tool for people who have a deep concern about the future of our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Roger Day, retired psychotherapist and play therapist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWendy Bebbington, creative director of Newenglish design agency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'This is an easy to read book, clearly laid out - I'm reading it just for me, but can see how good it would be to use in groups.

Review by Hannah Gray, June 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a straight-talking, down-to-earth book written by a married couple and their teenage son. Debbie and David Hawker are psychologists who work with mission organisations and their son, Jamie, is a teenage climate activist. The book has two subtitles ‘Applying the Bible in a climate emergency’ and ‘A resource for families and churches’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter profiles a different Christian charity working to alleviate the effects of climate change amongst vulnerable communities around the world and highlights an inspiring testimony from a young climate activist in diverse cultures and contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese real-life stories feature along the way, as the authors take the reader on a journey from the roots of the climate emergency, through the creation care narrative of the Bible, to the call for all Christians to wake up to the urgency and scale of action required. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eApplying the Bible in a climate emergency\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe writers frame the climate emergency problem around our spiritual condition, beginning Part 1 with two chapters (Waste and Want) that describe how our collective greed and wastefulness has created global environmental problems. In Part 2 they explain the Christian imperative for creation care, in four chapters organised around core Biblical themes of Faith, Love, Hope and Wisdom. The final section, Part 3 ‘What we can do?’, takes inspiration from scripture to suggest changes to travel and diet, to boost biodiversity, and to consider politics and protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole book is grounded in scripture. Apparently, every book of the Bible is referenced somewhere in the text – but I will take their word for it! Each chapter begins with a Bible passage that has relevance to the topic addressed, and sometimes the authors offer a modern adaptation of the passage to suggest how it could read for society today. I found these climate-nuanced translations of familiar verses and parables particularly thought-provoking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is also grounded in science. Evidence is laid out from around the world to show how planet and people are suffering from climate change. The information is clear and accessible; the colourful diagrams, photos and ‘Did you know?’ boxes make the pages visually interesting as well as aiding comprehension. For those who want to dig deeper, there are boxes for ‘deep thinkers’, an appendix that explains the science of climate change, and another which sets out carbon emission and climate vulnerability data for different countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA resource for families and churches\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging the climate spells out the urgency of the environmental problems we are all facing, whilst also making a compelling biblical case to take action. Yet the greatest strength is the practical ideas and tips listed at the end of each chapter. They range from quick and easy changes (eg re-use wrapping paper, be vegetarian once a week) to the more challenging lifestyle choices like how we heat our homes and whether to take a no-fly pledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall groups could effectively journey together through the book, discussing issues highlighted in the green question boxes that punctuate the text. There are videos and websites mentioned in Appendix D for extra content in group study settings. Each chapter finishes with a box to write what you will attempt to do in the next month. Being accountable in a small group should be an effective tool for embedding change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA humble tone and a brave attitude\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is informative, without being preachy, and encouraging, without being naïve. Importantly, the authors are humble, sharing what they could have done differently and how even determined eco-warriors can always do more. They acknowledge that individual change will not be enough to combat the climate emergency; there needs to be system change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapter ‘Moving mountains: large scale action’ bravely faces up to contentious topics like nuclear power and population growth – ‘\u003cem\u003ehaving one less child would reduce greenhouse gases 75 times more than adopting a vegan diet\u003c\/em\u003e’. The controversial group Extinction Rebellion (XR) features as well: ‘\u003cem\u003emembers of XR have upset people, but so did Gandhi, civil rights activists, suffragettes and Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e’. I think sometimes as Christians we tiptoe around these issues and I appreciate the refreshing assertiveness found throughout the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book finishes with a reflection on 1 Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ, pointing out that some parts of the body are already suffering from climate change. They assert that each Christian needs to play their part towards a solution, whether that is praying, protesting, fundraising, innovating… what will your part be in fixing the climate emergency? This book offers plenty of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Hannah Gray for JRI\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransforming Ministry, winter 2022. Review by Roger Thornington\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book by the Hawker family – two clinical psychologists and their 14 year old son – is marketed as a ‘resource for families and churches considering climate change’. The book is designed as a workbook with three parts – ‘The problem’, ‘Why we should act’ and ‘What can we do?’ It concludes with five reference appendices and a glossary. All twelve chapters follow similar formats – a relevant Bible passage, a brief exposition and space to record your response. Options for action are reviewed – Extinction Rebellion is mentioned with approval, though with a caveat regarding its ethos. ‘Deep thinkers’ sections offer further details with some practical tips the authors have used. A brief thematic prayer is followed by related input from an organisation involved in addressing issues raised in the chapter, which concludes with ‘Jamie’s 12 tips for action’ and space to record your response. Does the book achieve the authors’ aim? Will you find it useful? I think families may benefit from reading it but for active ministers, I am not so sure. However, one thing is certain with climate change – doing nothing is not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by Roger Thornington\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

The first time I saw Christmas Voices, with its rich red, green and gold Christmassy cover, I wanted desperately to see what was inside. The inside did not disappoint! Not least because the colour illustrations continue inside. But also because this little book contains a wealth of Christmas treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparing for Christmas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is designed to lead us through Advent, and prepare out hearts for Christmas. Claire Musters gives us 25 daily devotional thoughts, in four sections, reminding us that Jesus’ coming is about The Promise, The Preparation, Joy, Peace and Love. The scriptures Claire uses aren’t all the traditional Christmas ones, but each ties well into the theme. With her words are challenges and questions to ask ourselves, many of which spoke to me personally. There is encouragement too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious voices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn between those reflective words are carols, poems and prayers selected by many other voices, some very familiar, some less so. These include Church leaders, ministry heads, and even some well known television personalities, all who come from a range of denominations and backgrounds. I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas music. Although there are a few good modern Christmas songs, lots of the familiar carols carry such beautiful truth filled messages. Many of these appear in the book, along with some less familiar and ancient Christmas songs. I did find one or two where the words were less biblical, but all made me want to put on the Christmas music, or find the less familiar ones on YouTube. The reasons given for the songs and poems chosen I found really interesting. There are some personal and revealing stories amongst those voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight read with spiritual depth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough I guess this book is designed to be used during the Advent period, I don’t think it should be confined to that. It can be used as a daily devotional aid, or can be picked up and dipped into at any time. I used it this way. It would also be a great book to have out on the coffee table during the Christmas period, for friends and family to dip into. It is a light read but not without spiritual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristmas Voices is a lovely book, and full of good things. Much like a well decorated Christmas tree, with its collections of old and new decorations, lights and treats, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Each day there is also a passage of Scripture to read, and Claire finishes each devotion with a prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this devotional unique, in my eyes, are the voices of many others shared within the pages of this book. We hear which carol, or poem, or prayer is special to them and why it has a special place in their hearts. We hear from people such as Mags Duggan, Carl Beech and Pam Rhodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love to sing carols at Christmas time (often starting very early in November!), but I don’t always concentrate on the words of the carol.

The first time I saw Christmas Voices, with its rich red, green and gold Christmassy cover, I wanted desperately to see what was inside. The inside did not disappoint! Not least because the colour illustrations continue inside. But also because this little book contains a wealth of Christmas treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreparing for Christmas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is designed to lead us through Advent, and prepare out hearts for Christmas. Claire Musters gives us 25 daily devotional thoughts, in four sections, reminding us that Jesus’ coming is about The Promise, The Preparation, Joy, Peace and Love. The scriptures Claire uses aren’t all the traditional Christmas ones, but each ties well into the theme. With her words are challenges and questions to ask ourselves, many of which spoke to me personally. There is encouragement too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious voices\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn between those reflective words are carols, poems and prayers selected by many other voices, some very familiar, some less so. These include Church leaders, ministry heads, and even some well known television personalities, all who come from a range of denominations and backgrounds. I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas music. Although there are a few good modern Christmas songs, lots of the familiar carols carry such beautiful truth filled messages. Many of these appear in the book, along with some less familiar and ancient Christmas songs. I did find one or two where the words were less biblical, but all made me want to put on the Christmas music, or find the less familiar ones on YouTube. The reasons given for the songs and poems chosen I found really interesting. There are some personal and revealing stories amongst those voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight read with spiritual depth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough I guess this book is designed to be used during the Advent period, I don’t think it should be confined to that. It can be used as a daily devotional aid, or can be picked up and dipped into at any time. I used it this way. It would also be a great book to have out on the coffee table during the Christmas period, for friends and family to dip into. It is a light read but not without spiritual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristmas Voices is a lovely book, and full of good things. Much like a well decorated Christmas tree, with its collections of old and new decorations, lights and treats, there is something for everyone to enjoy. And it looks good too!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJoy Margetts is a published author and blogger.

Each day there is also a passage of Scripture to read, and Claire finishes each devotion with a prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this devotional unique, in my eyes, are the voices of many others shared within the pages of this book. We hear which carol, or poem, or prayer is special to them and why it has a special place in their hearts. We hear from people such as Mags Duggan, Carl Beech and Pam Rhodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love to sing carols at Christmas time (often starting very early in November!), but I don’t always concentrate on the words of the carol. Having the words of various carols within this book meant that I slowed down to really read the words. There are some wonderful truths within these carols that I had never noticed before. It has encouraged me to explore more of the carols we sing and really take note of the words I am singing and the truth that is proclaimed in verse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a book which can be read daily throughout December and which can help us to focus on the one Christmas is all about and all that his birth means for us today.

This is not a 'how to' manual of navigating the night time if our children struggle to sleep or are going through that traumatic stage of night terrors - rather, it gives tools for parents to engage, reflect and ask questions with their children - to journey with them through the night and, most importantly, for them to know that God is present there - just as much as in the day time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16 stories from the Bible are skilfully retold with just the right amount of drama, suspense and awe - perfect for a shared story!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParents can use the additional sections after each story to take things further . . . but, just simply sharing these stories and creating a rhythm and pattern of reading together creates a calming atmosphere - build a routine around story telling and sharing a night that becomes as familiar as brushing teeth and having a bath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGet hold of this wonderful book and find comfort in the darkness - not just for your children, but maybe for you as parents too .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/theresource.org.uk\/comfort-in-the-darkness-by-rachel-turner\/\"\u003eThe Resource\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAli Campbell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003egodventure - November 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a book on sleep training, but one which will create a positive relationship with God at night-time - for you and your children! Rachel vividly retells 16 Bible stories, each where someone, usually a child, experiences something of God at night-time. It's simple, it's clever and it's profound. I found my own perspective on night-time changing along with my children's, as they quoted to me things we had discovered of God at night-time. I particularly loved the story of Herman, based on Psalm 88, who discovers that God gives us songs in the night to draw close to Him. We had a fab time asking God to give us songs and singing them together.

The trouble with bedtime is switching off Peppa Pig, or getting them off their tab, and calming them down. When they are finally between the sheets, reading a bedtime story is a great relaxer.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThese 16 Bible stories are all simply written in a manner that allows the reader to add timely pauses and thoughtful expression. They are all set in a night time context through which God's presence and purpose are revealed whether life is easy, perplexing or fraught with trouble and danger. In order to get the most out of the stories the 'Extras for Parents' should be read well before involving the children. A good friend of mine describes it as finding and providing emotional intelligence.\n\u003cp\u003eHowever this is neither a D.I.Y. Sunday School manual nor a lesson book. The Discussion Points are useful if it's appropriate to prolong bedtime a little, but should not be imposed if the conversation is going to erase sleepiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prayers that come after each story, sensitively link the thoughts and feelings from the characters with how the children may have reacted and brings them into the love and care of the Lord. Their aim is to develop a sense of prayerfulness in the closeness of God as they snuggle down. It's a far cry from the old kneel by your bed and say your prayers routine.

I found my own perspective on night-time changing along with my children's, as they quoted to me things we had discovered of God at night-time. I particularly loved the story of Herman, based on Psalm 88, who discovers that God gives us songs in the night to draw close to Him. We had a fab time asking God to give us songs and singing them together.

A good friend of mine describes it as finding and providing emotional intelligence.\n\u003cp\u003eHowever this is neither a D.I.Y. Sunday School manual nor a lesson book.
