<p>Can we know more about the life of Jesus of Nazareth than what is written in the four gospel accounts? The answer is yes. The Old Testament says much about him. A knowledge of the Jewish culture in the first century adds greatly to our understanding of his life, teachings, and actions. This narrative account of the life of Jesus draws on both the Old Testament background and the first century Jewish culture. The story is told chronologically, showing how the sequence of events influenced his teaching and his strategies. This makes much clearer the conflict between religion and faith, and shows his skillful handling of the dramatic confrontation between him and the religious leaders of the time. It likewise portrays the evidence he set before the people of his identity, evidence that required a decision.</p>

<p>Let’s Restore Our Land describes how church and community leaders came to realize that the soil that produces our food is becoming weak, and the forests that provide us with many resources are disappearing. They recognized that God has given us the responsibility to care for and protect these natural resources that he has created and allows us to use. Under the leadership of Pastor Simon, the people in the community of Katindi made changes that increased the fertility and production of their soil and began restoring the trees and forest that had almost disappeared. The increased prosperity of the people of Katindi encouraged people in other communities to make similar changes. Restoring their land and forests improved their lives and their nutrition. Written for leaders of communities, churches, women’s groups, and schools, the book enables people to discuss and understand problems of the land and forests; it encourages them to consider how God would want them to respond, and it helps them determine solutions for these problems and how to put these solutions into practice. The resulting development is community-based and shows people how to use resources available to everyone. Many fine illustrations help to make the book highly readable and useful. Subjects include: - What God says about our responsibility for the land, forests, and water - Practical ways to take dominion over the soil and over animals - Ways to restore fertility to the soil and to protect it from erosion - How to grow new trees in nurseries and transplant them - Crop rotation and mulching - How to plan for healthy families and increased prosperity - Growing trees for firewood and charcoal The book is a collaborative effort between agricultural, health, and environmental experts in Africa and in North America.</p>
