Step into the story and tend what God has made.Most of us were not raised on a farm. But the questions Jarrod Davis asks on his family's historic farm in eastern North Carolina - about our place in creation, our enjoyment of it, and our responsibility for it - are questions every Christian is called to sit with.
Rooted in Faith is a memoir that draws on stories of exploring God's creation, raising two daughters, and tending land that has been in the family for generations to offer a theology of creation that is personal, concrete, and rooted in the two greatest commandments: to love God and to love our neighbor. Jarrod S. Davis, an ordained Elder in The United Methodist Church who has served as Creation Ministries Coordinator for both the North Carolina and Western NC Conferences and now serves as Lead Editor of Adult Curriculum for The United Methodist Publishing House, shows how caring for what God has made is not a secondary concern for Christians but a direct expression of how we love.
