"""How should a Christian think--and feel--about creation? Is it something to be transcended, or embraced--or something else entirely? In this highly readable, important, and deeply rooted book, Ragan Sutterfield opens the Christian imagination to a vision of a God both transcendent and immanent, an incarnational Father entwined in the mud and dirt and beauty and death of his creation. This book teaches Christians how to get their hands dirty--and why they should."" --Paul Kingsnorth, author of Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist ""Weaving together reflections on the soil, the biblical story, farming, compost, and our hope for the healing of creation, Ragan Sutterfield has created an allusive and poetic symphony of gratitude, awe, and solidarity with and for the soil and ourselves as creatures. This book evocatively and compellingly invites us to join the dance of all of creation, so that we, who are intimately bound with the soil, might become more deeply rooted in the life of the Creator."" --Sylvia C. Keesmaat, founder, Bible Remixed"
