Book excerpt: Part travelogue, part hymn of praise, and part environmental primer, The Green Earth Challenge will change the way you view the planet, your faith, and your role as a steward of God's creation. Winnie Williams has been fortunate to see many of the world's natural wonders and offers a passionate, biblically-based argument for protecting and preserving our natural resources. She also describes our worldwide energy challenges and offers practical advice for reevaluating our personal, national, and global behavior. Reading The Green Earth Challenge will awaken your gratitude for nature's miracles and inspire your resolve to preserve them for future generations. "Winnie Williams makes "environmentalism" accessible to ordinary mortals. As a Christian, she sounds a seldom-heard moral and ethical note. As one of the best kinds of Baptists, she laces the text with biblical references, leaving personal interpretation to the reader. Seldom have I seen such good stewardship of rich experiences from world travels. It is not just name-dropping of places she has been but careful management of lessons learned and fresh perspectives appropriated. We can all learn from Winnie's stewardship of life's blessings." James M. Dunn Professor of Christianity and Public Policy Divinity School at Wake Forest University "Winnie Williams challenges us to take seriously our stewardship of God's good earth. Combining theological insights, current studies, and personal experience . . . she makes a significant contribution in calling us to live out our faith regarding our environment." Todd Wilson Retired minister of First Baptist Church, Clemson, South Carolina Winnie V. Williams is a retiredassociate professor from Southern Wesleyan University, Central, South Carolina. She received her undergraduate degree from Mississippi College and Master's degrees from New Orleans Theological Seminary and Clemson University.
