Mission wild: One Man's Adventures in Saving the Planet

Mission Wild One Man's Adventures in Saving the Planet by Don Richards God is the Creator of this world and has given mankind the authority to look after it. Don, through his autobiography and adventures as a game ranger and later as a missionary in Africa and the Amazon, encourages Christians and the Church that Biblical environmental stewardship should be an integral part of discipleship and peoples' lives. The book also demonstrates to non-Christians God's involvement in His creation. Principles of ecology are featured, described as God's secrets, insights into God's character. Adventure stories experienced by the author in the wilds demonstrate how life can be an exciting journey of discovery. Don also addresses the global warming debate. The book includes chapters arranged chronologically and a mixture of Biblical teachings and personal adventure stories that go hand in hand with teachings. It also covers topical subjects such as global warming and climate change as well as sustainable community development and the need for environmental education. Mission Wild: One Man's Adventures in Saving the Planet is written for Christians as a tool for understanding their environment, discipling them in Biblical Environmental Stewardship. Environmental Stewardship is not a New Age prerogative, but should be part of teaching in the church. The book is also directed to non-Christians, to demonstrate God's involvement in His creation. It is not a scientific treatise but describes ecology in a simple way for the layman. It is also useful for missionaries and people preparing for missions as an encouragement of how they can use their knowledge of ecology and sister disciplines in missions. It is also written for nature enthusiasts and people longing for adventure.
