"Making Peace with the Land"
Fred Bahnson & Norman Wirzba
God is reconciling all things in heaven and on earth. We are alienated not only from one another but also from the land that sustains us. Our ecosystems are increasingly damaged, and human bodies are likewise degraded. Most of us have little understanding of how our energy is derived or how our food is produced, and many of our current industrialized practices are both unhealthy for our bodies and unsustainable for the planet.
Read this book to start down the path to restoring shalom and experiencing Jesus' kingdom of shared abundance, where neighbors are fed, and all receive enough.

He has shown you, O Man, what is good and what the LORD requires of you.
It is to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
This book club is in honor of
Dr. Allen Pelletier was a beloved professor of family medicine at MCG for years – esteemed by patients, colleagues and students. He passed away unexpectedly in 2019. Allen loved God, loved life, loved his wife and children, loved his neighbor and colleagues and loved his patients. On his last full day of living, he was in a group, discussing a book about the nature of love. For more about his life, see https://magazines.augusta.edu/2024/02/06/a-colorful-life/.
I think to love another person means to seek their highest good. I think we should love our patients because, as a physician, we should seek the highest good for our patients and for what we do in healthcare.
