This book is a unique resource that brings together the timeless wisdom of Scripture with the urgent call of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In a world struggling with poverty, hunger, inequality, conflict, and ecological crisis, this devotional demonstrates how the biblical vision of justice, peace, and flourishing directly intersects with the global agenda for sustainable living. Through these 17 devotionals-each linked to a specific SDG-different authors explore God's heart for humanity and creation. It draws on biblical narratives, theological reflections, contemporary stories, and prayers to show how Christian faith is not only spiritual but also deeply practical, calling believers to action in society. Each chapter equips readers to see the SDGs not merely as policy goals, but as expressions of biblical values such as compassion, stewardship, justice, equality, and shalom. Designed for pastors, students, churches, and communities, this devotional equips readers to integrate faith with action, to pray and work for change, and to embody God's kingdom vision of shalom on earth. Why read this book? - To deepen the understanding of the biblical foundation for justice and sustainability. - To be equipped with practical ways of engaging the world's most pressing challenges. - To be inspired by stories of hope that connect faith with action. - To understand the deep connection of 17 Sustainable Development Goals with God's Word in God's world. - To join the movement of Christians who believe that following Christ includes transforming communities and caring for creation. Engaging the SDGs gives Christians a chance to practice something deeply biblical: to build bridges of common concern, to collaborate where goals overlap with God's purposes, and to witness by word and deed to the kingdom of Christ. -Dr. Chris Elisara WEA Special Envoy for Environment, Climate, and Cities
