Portland, Oregon -- June 11, 2008 -- The crisis of the environment requires both faith and action. The Rev. Nancy Roth’s new book, Grounded in Love: Ecology, Faith, and Action, argues that becoming aligned with truth rather than falsehood, altruism rather than selfishness, and action rather than passivity, is good for the soul and the environment. Her book is a hopeful challenge to people of faith called to respond to the crisis of the environment. It is a practical and personal guide to putting faith into action.

“Roth’s gentle commentary and elegant passion entice us to a oneness with creation and each other that is both active and rooted in faith.”—Phyllis Tickle, compiler The Words of Jesus: A Gospel of the Sayings of Our Lord

“Rev. Nancy Roth gets at the big questions here. Christians in our era will be judged by how they respond to the ecological crisis we now face.”—Bill McKibben, author of The Comforting Whirlwind: God, Job, and the Scale of Creation

“This immensely alluring book is a spiritual invitation into a deeper experience of intentional life.”—The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston, President and Dean, Episcopal Divinity School
