Starting with concrete examples of the struggles of Indigenous peoples, and especially women, who have for ages been engaged in prudent care of the earth, the author challenges the modern understanding of "development" which has been measured largely in economistic terms. People who live with the earth question humanity's preoccupation with economic growth while exploiting the earth and all that it provides. The author demonstrates that it is possible to live with an ethic of care and prudence; while resisting the onslaught of development with a commitment to the integrity of God's creation. She explores the potential of Christianity as an earth faith and for Christians and the churches to be agents of transformation.
