Eco-Anxiety and the Cross

Eco-Anxiety and the Cross offers hope for a worried world. This book is an honest, encouraging guide through eco-anxiety―rooted in the unshakable promises of the gospel. Written for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the headlines or burdened by the state of our planet, this book brings together real environmental challenges, the emotional weight of climate anxiety, and the hope that flows from the story of God's redemptive love for all of creation. With care for both mind and spirit, it addresses the often-hyperbolic language of climate activism and doom while anchoring readers in the biblical conviction that God has not abandoned the world he made but is leading it toward renewal.

Blending biblical wisdom and practical action steps, this book guides anxious readers from despair to purpose. It offers a clear-eyed truth about the planet's struggles but refuses to leave readers stuck in guilt or paralysis. Instead, it describes how Christians can embody hope in daily life, grounded in Christ's resurrection and the promise of a restored creation. With chapters on managing fear, discerning facts, praying as creation groans, along with suggestions for simple but meaningful ways to care for the earth, this book is a practical field guide for living hopefully amidst environmental problems.
