As planet earth becomes an increasingly hot environmental and political
issue, you can keep your 12- to 15-year-old students in touch with the
spiritual dimension. In this activity book, the author carefully
combines theology with science, providing 18 easy-to-follow lesson plans
complete with background information, activity ideas and photocopiable
handouts. Discussion includes what students can do to show their concern
about environmental issues. These lessons can be used not only as part of
a classroom curriculum but also for catechesis, Sunday school,
confirmation, Earthweek activities and other youth programs.”
Reviews
“An excellent book for teaching adolescents about environmental
issues from a religious, theological and scientific perspective.”
— Theological Book Service
“Your Will Be Done on Earth is an excellent Bible-based
religious text for presenting the ecological situation to young students in
these years and the manner in which they could respond to it within their
religious traditions. It could be most effective in the later years of elementary
school or the early years of high school. It communicates wonderfully well
the way in which humans should be present to the entire range of life
expression on the earth.”
— Thomas Berry, Ph.D., director, Riverdale Center of Religious
Research, Riverdale, N.Y.
