Apostolic Farming: Healing the Earth

Apostolic Farming: Healing the Earth

The earth is weeping... how can we heal it?

The heavy treads of our modern machinery pound the earth into submission our society has become expert at efficiently taking from the earth, but what do we give the earth in return? Is this the proper stewardship of the earth that God has entrusted us with?

Concerns are growing about genetically engineered superfood and pesticide use.

Animals are being cloned for use as organ donors, and human cloning may be just around the corner.

The panic over Mad Cow Disease is a chilling example of the real price which we may all pay for cows being fed cheaply instead of nutritiously.

In this remarkably prophetic work, Catherine Doherty helps shed some light on these important issues, with practical, down-to-earth guidance for farmers everywhere whether you are a backyard gardener or industry professional.

Drawing on experience of her father's extensive farm in twentieth century Russia, Catherine Doherty pleads for integrity in making the earth fecund with healthy foods. Written from the perspective of a small farm named "St. Benedict Acres" developed by and for Madonna House (the community founded by the author), this book urges farmers to integrate Christianity into their farming, into the care of their portion of the Lord's vineyard.
