About the Book
Soil heath = Soul health. Does the Bible have anything to say about how we should farm our land?
Managing environmental issues requires an acceptance of a Creator and a Savior. Farmers and ranchers have an especially important responsibility as caretakers of God’s garden and to provide healthy food for their communities.
Farmers of Light explores the scientific and spiritual elements of being a farmer in today’s world, from the creation of the universe all the way to how regeneration of the soil compares to the regeneration of our souls. For the Christian farmer, the thought-provoking questions within inspire introspection and renewed faith in God and modern-day practices to care for the land God has provided.
