What better place to start talking about Good Books in Bad Times than with the Bible, the original “good book”? People have put their faith in this book throughout history, and it is no stranger to difficult times with thousands of verses inside that speak of hope and salvation such as MATTHEW 11:28, “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” This version is a particularly special Bible, with its emphasis on encouraging people to see God’s vision for creation and helping them engage in the work of sustaining it. Even amidst our own fears and woes, it reminds us that there is still a lot of work to be done in healing not only ourselves, but the earth. Tread lightly, and check out The Green Bible.
