Serving God, Saving the Planet by J. Matthew Sleeth, formerly the two volumes Hope for Creation and Hope for Humanity, is a video-based learning experience that will broaden the conversation of the dangers of materialism, workaholism, and spiritual bankruptcy—as well as God's endless invitations for us to enjoy what he has created. This twelve-session, video-based study provides simple, everyday ways to focus on stewardship and sustainability according to Scripture.
