Can humans flourish without destroying the earth? In this book, experts on many of the world's major and minor religious traditions address the question of human and earth flourishing. Each chapter considers specific religious ideas and specific environmental harms. Chapters are paired and the authors work in dialogue with one another. Taken together, the chapters reveal that the question of flourishing is deceptively simple. Most would agree that humans should flourish without destroying the earth. But not all humans have equal opportunities to flourish. Additionally, on a basic physical level any human flourishing must, of necessity, cause some harm. These considerations of the price and distribution of flourishing raise unique questions about the status of humans and nature. This book represents a step toward reconciliation: that people and their ecosystems may live in peace, that people from different religious worldviews may engage in productive dialogue; in short, that all may flourish.

Finding your true value and purpose begins with a simple but profound truth: you have been wonderfully made. Do you ever question your worth or wonder what on earth you’re here for? The everyday pressures and struggles women of all ages face and the feeling of not measuring up can be overwhelming. You might be left wondering: Is this all there is? A constant striving for self-acceptance and human approval? Or are you made for something more? Allie Marie Smith has walked the familiar road of self-doubt and depression. Like a companion on the journey, she wants you to join her in discovering a better life—the life you’ve been made for. God planned your days before you were born and He longs for you to discover the life He created you to live—here on earth and in eternity. This abundant life comes from knowing you are: Made for relationship with God Made to be loved Made to know your true identity Made to overcome Made to live free And so much more Wonderfully Made is designed to be read in 30 short chapters that help you discover your true purpose and significance. Don’t believe the lie that you are defined by your struggles or that your worth comes from your achievements or looks. Your identity comes from God. No matter what the other voices might say, God declares that you are lovingly and wonderfully made and His eternal plan for you is good.
