When Enough Is Enough
A Christian Framework for Environmental Sustainability
R. J. Berry, Inter-Varsity Press

Is our God too small?
* Do we truly acknowledge the biblical God, who is Creator and Sustainer as
well as Redeemer - a much bigger God than the one who cares merely about me
and my personal faith and behaviour?
* Do we really love our neighbours - the powerless one in a less developed
country as well as our friend next door?
* And what about our own family: are we stealing from our children and
their children - damaging the only world we have through global climate
change, never mind polluting our neighbours' environment, using up
non-renewable resources like fossil fuel, indulging in industrial and
agricultural practices that permanently harm land and water?
* We want to `make poverty history' - but are we squandering so much
capital that we are making this impossible?
This book offers a Christian approach to living now in the expectation that
tomorrow will come - a Christian framework for sustainable development,
written by some of the world's experts on the subject. It is a guidebook
for living in such a way that we will be better able to give a positive
account for our treatment of the talents entrusted to us, when we face the
divine Judge of all the earth.
The contributors are R. J. (Sam) Berry, Dave Bookless, John Bryant, Flavio
Comim, Joanne Green , Donald Hay, Sir Brian Heap, Margot Hodson, Sir John
Houghton, Sir Ghillean Prance, David Stafford and John Wibberley.
