Dave Bookless writes: The new 2008 edition of Ruth Valerio’s ‘L is for
Lifestyle’ is even better than the first one! This is essential reading for
those beginning to get active in living lightly and justly in God’s world. Ruth
has slightly expanded the book and updated all the website details.
It remains a wonderfully accessible, easy-to-read, yet well-researched little
book based around 26 alphabet-themed short chapters. From "B is for bananas"
through "G is for globalisation" and "K is for Kippers" to “O is for Organic”
and "W is for water” these are bite-size chapters that will leave you challenged
and point you to what you can do about it. Ruth practices what she preaches and
writes from her own experiences of bringing up a family on a modest income. She
also recognises each of us start from different places in our lifestyle journey.
Whilst the chapters are very short, they are full of both biblical resonance and
detailed facts, with good footnotes and suggestions of organisations and
websites to take each subject further (You'll find A Rocha under "C is for
Creation"!). If you buy this book and act on it, it will be one tree that was
worth felling.
