God Doesn’t Do Waste

Meet ‘the Bookless bunch’, a very ordinary family who went green. When God challenged him over his attitude to the environment, Dave Bookless did a total rethink. This led to major changes, not only in his family’s lifestyle but also eventually in his career: full-time involvement in the global A Rocha movement that aims to care for God’s fragile world. But in one sense this book isn’t about going green at all. It’s a personal account of a life lived in relationship. It’s about roots and belonging, suffering and healing, identity and meaning, faith and doubt. It’s about how in God’s economy nothing need be wasted.

This is a story about the messiness that each human being wades through in every area of their lives, and about a God who can take all that seems most wasteful and useless, and recycle it into something of infinite worth.
