Review
"While looking at the photographs in this book, I cannot help but hear the thundering voice of the Creator in the Book of Job "It's not all about you." God has written his theology in the wings of a butterfly and in the tail of a horse and Tom has captured it. Like God s speech to Job, these photographs remind me to be humble." --Matthew Sleeth, MD, Executive Director of Blessed Earth and author of, Serve God and Save the Planet and The Gospel According to the Earth
The Gift of Creation is an invitation to open our eyes and keep them open to the wonder and testimony of creation and creation s degradation ... it is a book telling the glory of God; it is a book telling of God s divinity and everlasting power; it is an invitation to declare keep and restore the integrity of this great gift given us by its Giver. --Calvin B. DeWitt, Professor, Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
