Christian responsibility for the natural world goes back to the very beginning, when God commanded us to “fill the earth and subdue it.” This Dominion Mandate is an authoritative alternative to both environmental activists and to those who think “conservation” is a word progressives made up.
So what does “dominion” mean for us, living in a world of constant reports about impending global meltdown; of oils spills, pollution, and strip-mining; of extinction threats both real and imagined? A Different Shade of Green contains a compelling Christian approach to biodiversity, life cycles, and the environment, offering solutions and correcting errors while teaching us how to give thanks for—and rule over—all of creation.

"Gordon Wilson leads us on an expedition through the tangles of environmentalism. Being lost in these woods can cause frustration and confusion. Gordon reminds us that with the proper compass, it is possible to discover the heart of God and distinguish the forest from the trees. By journey’s end, we are back on the trail and discovering the beauty and purposes of the Creator and the joy of stewarding His world. I look forward to letting my ecology students begin this quest for themselves." -Thomas D. Hennigan, Associate Professor of Ecology and Organism Biology at Truett McConnell University
"This book is another aspect of the life of Gordon Wilson, the part where he ponders big issues and communicates his conclusions in down-to-earth images.... I hope you enjoy his thoughts and conversation as much as I do." -N.D. Wilson, writer and director of The Riot and the Dance
As the title suggests, the Author is green, but a different type of green than you may imagine.
With a careful critique of those one the left and right's distorted view of ecology, he also provides a better way with a robust theological framework which isnt just Theological, but is also practical, for those who desire to treat it out.
I enjoyed his measured approach to environmental issues, practical solutions, as well as not shying away from addressing issues like Ecological impacts, Climate claims (Real and claimed) and claims of overpopulation toward the end of the book.
A different shade of Green is a different kind of book on ecology and formulating thoughts from theologically robust place. I found it helpful as a guide as well as this book enriching my view of nature...as well as my love for God through showing that all is.
