"Our economy has been built on the heavy-handed use of natural resources, and even though nature has magnificent recuperative powers, the recovery is unlikely to match the beauty and the wholeness of the original environment." With this truth laid bare, cultural geologist Warren Johnson offers up a new path to deep inner prosperity based on one of the oldest most successful concepts the world over - The Golden Rule.
This book takes you on a journey into the medieval way of life when the edict of "Do unto others as you would yourself" was the rallying cry that helped people work together for a common good. So where did it all go so wrong? What happened to caring for our fellow human? Our land? Our resources? Warren argues that much was lost with the Age of Enlightenment. While the age gave us reason and science, it distanced us from the sacred, leaving us with little more than an insatiable appetite for the new, the better, the bolder.
For Everything a Season reignites the sacred flame. Warren urges us to recommit to faith, while maintaining our reason. Guided by traditional principles embedded in the great teachings of the New and Old Testaments, he offers a hopeful path to creating a modern eco-system where every individual consumes and creates in balance with the sacred whole. In this way, we do away with excess, make reparations for our past, and ultimately lead a happier, healthier life.
