LIFE AFTER DOOM Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart

With a sincere, somber, and unhurried delivery, theologian Brian McLaren focuses on the climate crisis facing the world, warning that "complacency is a poor survival strategy." Each chapter begins with reflections from a variety of people: scientists, poets, philosophers, religious leaders, and literary figures. Speaking directly to listeners, McLaren ends each chapter with recommendations based on chapter content, encouraging those listening in a group to discuss what was said. In a somewhat mournful tone, McLaren delivers his dark forecast for the earth's future given "our current suicidal economy and anti-ecological way of life." Yet there is much that is valuable here if we are to change the course of our own destruction. S.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
