In an age held captive by Al, space capitalism, and unlimited everything, what if the flourishing life we are made for is not ""out there"" but ""down here"" on Earth? What if being limited, finite, earthy people is exactly what God wants us to be? What if we are created to be heaven-bound and earth-bound?
This is a book about being human on Earth, the Christian faith, society's fascination with technology, the worship of economic growth, the insights of indigenous peoples, and American values. It is a book about discovering what true progress is as we learn from gravity, stars, soil, and the wisdom of God in creation. The lives we are created for are meant to offer healing for God's world, and in that place of renewal is a better future than we can imagine!

Reviews for Earthbound Christian: Flourishing Within Limits in the Age of Infinite Growth

""Amidst these turbulent times, Earthbound Christian is an honest and insightful exploration of what it means to follow Jesus as creatures of both heaven and earth. With warmth, wit, and theological depth, Haynes helps us see that flourishing doesn't come from breaking free of our God-given limits but from embracing them as gifts woven into creation itself. This is a deeply authentic invitation to live grounded and human lives in an increasingly technology-driven era."" --Ben Lowe, Executive Director, A Rocha USA ""Caleb Cray Haynes is one of the most down-to-earth creation care leaders right now, and his book calling us earthbound is deeply needed. In a time when the temptations of consumerism and digital technology turn our gaze upward looking for more, Earthbound Christian helps us remember the good news of the life of faith starts and ends in simplicity and soil."" --Avery Davis Lamb, Executive Director, Creation Justice Ministries ""Earthbound Christian is perfect for anyone who desires a closer walk with Jesus--barefoot on a dirt path. Grounded in Scripture, using science, indigenous wisdom, and personal experience, Haynes challenges the reader to review and renew the theologies we have inherited. This book reads like a conversation with the author. I laughed, rolled my eyes, and responded out loud. This book delighted and challenged me, and it will do the same to you."" --Carol Devine, Faith Director, ecoAmerica's Blessed Tomorrow
