The Green Bible is a unique treasure for people who want to more fully live out the scriptural values of stewardship, love for their neighbors, and care for the underprivileged.

“Challenging, inspiring, and hopeful. The Green Bible will change the way you think, and the way you live.” —Lauren F. Winner, Duke Divinity School, author of Girl Meets God
