I saw your post about the book "Serve God, Save the Planet", and I thought that you might like to know that our organization sponsors its author, Dr. Matthew Sleeth, as a "creation care evangelist." We would love for you to check us out at our website, en.arocha.org/usa. You might also be interested in the website for Dr. Sleeth's book, www.servegodsavetheplanet.org.<BR/><BR/>Also, we occasionally ask those who post extremely favorable reviews of Dr. Sleeth's book to repost those reviews on amazon.com, cbd.com, or any other on-line bookstores they might have accounts with. If you have accounts with any of those sites, would you be willing to post your review on them? I know that Dr. Sleeth will be very grateful for your support if you are able to do so.Dustin Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00697684750989317529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352179045764689947.post-87250156076431388932008-06-14T14:25:00.000-07:002008-06-14T14:25:00.000-07:00GreenBean, I didn't dislike AVM, and I do really l...GreenBean, I didn't dislike AVM, and I do really like Kingsolver's writing style. I just thought she was maybe prettying up the work involved in gardening.<BR/>You have deer coming into your yard? I'm not ever going to be comfortable with deer anymore, after our deer-in-the-house incident!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463831506588682774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352179045764689947.post-66208494271457807022008-06-14T13:43:00.000-07:002008-06-14T13:43:00.000-07:00Ahhh, Joyce, I see that you are from the Arduous s...Ahhh, Joyce, I see that you are from the <A HREF="http://arduousblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/animal-vegetable-miracle-book-review.html" REL="nofollow">Arduous </A>school of Animal Vegetable Miracle. ;-) I understand what you mean, though. I guess I'm a bit of a romantic and just enjoyed all the beautiful writing. Perhaps Kingsolver felt that it was not as compelling or inspiring to write about the bad stuff that happens. Or maybe she let the pests sift back and out of her memories. I have to admit that I've had my share of slugs, blight and deer this year. I forget about them once they are under control or I deem a particular plant a lost cause. I am only reminded when, like this morning, I went out front to find that the deer had visited again and nibbled some of my scarlet runner beans down to the nub. <BR/><BR/>That said, not every book is for everyone and I'm so happy that this next book, Serve God, Save the Planet, seemed to be a perfect fit. I'm really excited that you found this book, new to you, through the challenge and thanks to Donna for suggesting it. BTW, another participant, Green Teen, is also reading it. <BR/><BR/>I'll link to both reviews on my side bar. I appreciate you taking the time to review this books.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352179045764689947.post-38906953569294462992008-06-14T13:07:00.000-07:002008-06-14T13:07:00.000-07:00Hi Joyce, Thanks for the mention -- I'm glad you l...Hi Joyce, Thanks for the mention -- I'm glad you liked the book! You wrote two really great reviews here, and you summed up the message of Sleeth's book perfectly. I think what he says still continues to sink in for me, almost subliminally.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896172914500564208noreply@blogger.com
