Musing Mondays

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about picture books.

Do you have a favorite picture book, either from your own childhood, or reading to you children?

I have a copy of Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman that was my favorite book as a child. My husband and son bought me a copy a few years ago. It came with a stuffed dog like the one on the cover of the book. It was one of the best gifts I've ever received!!

About The Book:

In GREEN LIKE GOD, Jonathan Merritt gently and insightfully observes that the Creator has a lot to say about environmental problems like unclean water, mindless materialism, wastefulness, over consumption, and pollution. In fact, Jonathan writes that "in the book of Genesis, God went green and never looked back." Relying heavily on the Scriptures, Jonathan gives the case for green living, but not because it's trendy and hip. Rather, it's part of worshipful and obedient living as a follower of God.

GREEN LIKE GOD is at once practical, prescriptive, and conversational in tone. Jonathan weaves together surprising truths with the fascinating story of his own journey from enviro-ambivalence to the front line of the creation care movement.

Written for a new generation of Christians who are struggling with how to deal with the important issue of creation-care and green living, GREEN LIKE GOD is both highly relevant and theologically sound. This is the book that people of faith are longing for and need today.

About The Author

Using the Bible as reference as well as personal experiences, the author takes you on a journey of how you can be greener and by doing so, you can help protect the world God has given us. Hopefully everyone who reads this book will realize what damage we are doing by not being as green as we can be. The book is a quick and easy read and is not only inspirational, it is a call to us all to do what we can. I think everyone, no matter their religious beliefs, will benefit from reading this book.
