Dave Bookless’ “Planetwise” continues to sell well. October 9th saw the publication of a Dutch translation with a symposium in Amersfoort attended by nearly 300 people. Dave spoke at the symposium (in English!) and said “It feels very strange to be holding a book with my name on the cover, but when I open it I can’t understand a thing!” The Dutch translation “Den groene hart van het geloof” means “The Green Heart of Faith”. Dave was also able to meet and have discussions with core supporters of A Rocha Netherlands.

A Rocha UK Friend and former A Rocha International Trustee, Dr Hilary Marlow has a major book published this month by Oxford University Press. “Biblical Prophets and Contemporary Environmental Ethics” is based on Hilary’s PhD research and engages with the challenge of applying Old Testament texts to today’s environmental challenges, and understanding the relationships between God, people and the non-human creation. Orders placed before 28th December directly with OUP can receive a discounted price of £52.
