Serve God, Save the Planet is a thoughtfully written book explaining how people of faith should take the fundamental principles of living a Christian life and apply it to their daily lives in an effort to be more eco-friendly and protect God’s creation.

Written by J. Matthew Sleeth, MD, a former ER physician, Serve God, Save the Planet is an easy to read book that weaves tales of Sleeth’s personal stories to exemplify how living a more eco-friendly lifestyle often goes hand in hand with helping your neighbors, looking out for the poor and, in general, protecting the health and safety of the varied people of the planet.

While Sleeth talks about many common practices of eco-friendly lifestyles, such as reducing energy use and eating local foods, he also goes beyond the typical mantras and speaks of reducing your dependence on television, decluttering your life and honoring the Sabbath.

Using stories of his personal ups and downs throughout all aspects of life, not just his efforts to live an eco-friendly lifestyle, Sleeth realistically portrays how a life of excess and consumerism can often parallel a life of indifference to those less fortunate in the world who are being especially affected by environmental concerns.

At it’s core, going green is really about doing good for others, whether right here and now or for generations to come.  Serve God, Save the Planet puts this into a faith-based perspective and inspires readers to start doing good….even if it is changing out a lightbulb!
