Description
by Leah Kostamo (Author), Eugene H. Peterson (Foreword by)
A Bird in the Hand is not a "how to" book, but a "how so" book in which the reader is invited to travel with Leah Kostamo on the wild ride of salmon saving, stranger welcoming, and God worshiping as she and her husband help establish the first Christian environmental center in Canada. Avoiding simplistic prescriptions or cliched platitudes, Leah wrestles with issues of poverty, justice, and the environment through the narrative of her own life experience. The lived-theology and humility of voice conveyed in these pages draws readers to new and creative ways to honor the Creator as they are inspired to care for creation.
Author Biography
Leah Kostamo is the author of Planted: A Story of Creation, Calling and Community, a book Eugene H. Peterson called "remarkable." She works alongside her husband Markku to show God's love for all creation through the ministry of A Rocha. Together they started the first Christian environmental center in Canada, which over the past twelve years has welcomed thousands of visitors and interns who have rolled up their sleeves to grow organic vegetables, restore salmon streams, and inspire school children. Margaret Atwood, writing in Sojourners, said of Leah and Markku, "If all Christians were like them, ours would be a radically different world." Leah shares life with five other families (and a myriad of chickens) on Kingfisher Farm near Vancouver, BC.
