Embracing Creation: God's Forgotten Mission

Our mission is more than saving souls. Our goal is more than getting to go to heaven.

We are made to embrace creation.

Human beings have been given an important role in the vast, created order of God.

Embracing Creation will remind you about that role, but it will also challenge you to consider more deeply God's forgotten mission. Since God has always loved everything he has made, He desires that we wisely nurture His creation to the praise of His glory.

Embracing Creation offers a compelling survey of the Bible, and then offers some clear illustrations of how we should live our lives in light of God's redemptive grace.
