Insight Environmentalists discussion

Is there a book you've been itching to read and discuss with others? I've been wanting to read Spiritual Ecology: A Quiet Revolution by Leslie E Sponsel. Would you be game for making that the group's book for May?

Heather,,,,this looks really great..just did a search at Amazon and their lowest price is $45- do you have a suggestion for accessing the book?

Ouch--let me think on this and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the heads up.

I was unsuccessful reaching Leslie Sponsel--author of Spiritual Ecology--so I couldn't pitch the idea of giving us a deal in exchange for reviews on Goodreads. So....

What do you think about reading Resisting Structural Evil: Love as Ecological-Economic Vocation by Cynthia Moe Lobeda. It was published on March 2, 2013 and doesn't have many reviews--we could be some of the first! New books are available on Amazon for $13.28 or on Kindle for $12.31.

Check it out and let me know :-)

Heather,,,,I am not the world's most voracious reader and when I read I seek a compelling wisdom oriented, less intellectual sounding book than this. Perhaps in goodreads, you were seeking a different kind of reader, if so, I am happy to lurk and glean from others' thoughts and observations. Penny

Thanks, Penny for your candid response as it helps all of us find our way together! Here are a few more suggestions for what we might read and discuss. Alternatively, does anyone else have a book suggestion?
