Contemporary Social Issues

Saying YES to LIFE lifts our focus from natural, everyday concerns to issues that have an impact on millions of lives around the world. As people made in the image of God, we are entrusted to look after what he has created: to share in 'God's joy and ingenuity in making a difference for good. Ruth Valerio imaginatively draws on the Days of Creation (Genesis 1), as she relates themes of light, water, land, seasons, other creatures, humankind, Sabbath rest and resurrection hoe to matters of environmental, ethical and social concern. Foundational to SAYING YES TO LIFE is what it means to be human and, in particular, to be a follower of Jesus. Voices from around the world are heard throughout, and each chapter ends with discussion questions and a prayer to aid action and contemplation. Perfect for individuals and groups to think, reflect, pray and be challenged together - Justin Welby
