MADISON RELEASES BOOKS INTEGRATING SOIL SCIENCE AND FAITH

Beth Madison, associate professor of science for Union’s School of Adult and Professional Studies, released the first two books of her Good Ground series that integrates Christian theology and practice within the study of soil and environmental science.

Madison, the author of the Soul Scientist blog, said she hopes the books will become a resource to readers, helping enhance daily devotion times and small group Bible studies. As a take on modern-day parables, Good Ground will help readers take something they see every day — the nature at their feet — and learn more about the creator of both the world and humanity.

“I hope as readers interact with these books, they would start seeing the world around them in a new way,” Madison said. “I hope they will prompt them to think of Scripture or a certain Christian living principle and that it will ultimately draw them closer in intimacy with the creator of it all.”

Proceeds of Good Ground will go to financing student scholarships through Northeastern Baptist Press in Vermont. Good Ground is available to order at Amazon.com or at Northeastern Baptist Press.
