Reviews

Winnie Williams has changed my attitude toward global warming and brought my faith and my concern for the environment together! I’ve heard all the news about it, but my attitude has been rather nonchalant—let those scientist take care of it! With much biblical and Christian insight, she has emphasized my God given responsibility and has brought me to the realization that caring for God’s beautiful world is a part of my responsibility. Christian Living, —Carolyn Weatherford Crumpler

As a Christian, she sounds a seldom-heard moral and ethical note. As one of the best kinds of Baptists, she laces the text with biblical references, leaving personal interpretation to the reader. Seldom have I seen such good stewardship of rich experiences from world travels… We can all learn from Winnie’s stewardship of life’s blessings. —James M. Dunn, Professor of Christianity and Public Policy at Wake Forest University
