LOVE THE EARTH AND BE HEALED SERIES

We recycle. We car pool. We hear daily about the environment. But just how aware are we of what we do and don't do that hurts the earth and ourselves? Our planet is in trouble because we stopped loving it in order to use it, but we can start loving the earth and creation again. This six-part series proposes that what we love we won't destroy, and that we ourselves will be healed by being reconnected to all that God called good.
