About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Dave Bookless (1962-)was born in Calcutta and lived in India until aged 10 when he moved to England with his family. He has worked as a teacher and lecturer in multifaith Bradford, a vicar in multiracial Southall, and as Founding Director of A Rocha UK, part of an international Christian environmental movement (www.arocha.org) running practical projects in 18 countries across six continents. Dave's passion is living and communicating Christian faith in ways that reflect the full biblical Gospel, and speak to contemporary cultures. As well as working as A Rocha UK's Director for Theology, Churches and Sustainable Communities, Dave serves on the Church of England's Mission and Public Affairs Council, and is Moderator of the Environmental Issues Network of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. Dave speaks on environmental issues and Christian belief mainly in the UK and Europe, and occasionally in Asia, Africa and North America. He writes widely on faith and environment, and on inter-faith relations, including chapters in 'Caring for Creation' (BRF, 2005) and 'When Enough is Enough - A Christian Framework for Sustainability' (IVP 2007). His own book 'Planetwise' (IVP 2008), has been described as "a must-read for all disciples of Jesus committed to God's mission in the world." (Tim Dakin, General CMS), and, "a chance to explore a massive global issue of our generation in both theological and practical ways" (Nicky Gumbel), and has been commended by Jonathon Porritt (Sustainable Development Commission) and the Rt. Revd. John Sentamu (Archbishop of York). His autobiographical second book 'God doesn't do Waste' is due to be published by IVP in 2010.
