Three Franciscan authors combine good science with solid theology and practical applications to develop a Franciscan spirituality of the earth following in the footsteps of Jesus with the guidance of St. Francis of Assisi. Four sections highlight the distinct relationships creation has with the world: incarnation, community, contemplation and conversion. The authors propose ways in which we can all understand our own roles in relationship to the earth and ways in which we can make it better. Paperback, 225 pages, list price $18.95.
