Our world feels like it's being pulled deeper into crisis - climate and ecological destruction, wars, political and community breakdown, social media overload...
It can be easy to disengage, to despair of ever being able to make a difference and give up. But now more than ever we need to stay resilient and keep responding to the call of our Christian faith to work for justice, peace, social cohesion and the flourishing of the natural world. How do we take on board the reality of what is happening in a way that doesn't lead to paralysis but instead to hope and action?
Rooted in the Bible's vision of a renewed creation where justice, peace, and flourishing abound, this book explores how we can remain engaged without burning out. Combining spiritual wisdom with practical tools, Ruth helps readers build resilience, sustain hope, care for their wellbeing, and continue working for justice, reconciliation, and environmental renewal.
For anyone wrestling with climate anxiety, global instability, or a sense of helplessness in the face of suffering, How to Survive a World in Crisis offers a hopeful path forward, so that we 'don't grow weary of doing good'.
