<p>A Book Whose Time Has Finally Come</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The world has changed a lot since 1990. George H.W. Bush was in the White House, John Paul II was in the 12th year of his 27-year papacy, and the World Wide Web had yet to be launched. That year, an independent publisher out of Canada called Woodlake Books, Inc. published a title called <em>Geo-Justice: A Preferential Option for the Earth</em> by Jim Conlon. The book melded profound insights from mystical theology with lively and passionate calls to action from prominent community organizers and environmentalists. In that book and others, Conlon&rsquo;s faith-based exhortations to care for our planet combined with those of Theilhard de Chardin, Thomas Berry, and a small cadre of environmental prophets to help pave the way 25 years later for the landmark encyclical of the current pope, <em>Laudato Si&rsquo;</em>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dedicated to Pope Francis, this new edition of&nbsp;<em>Geo-Justice</em>&nbsp;boasts not only a foreword by Thomas Berry and a new foreword by fellow priest and earth-rights activist, Sean McDonagh, but also a fully revised text. The new edition contains fresh poetry from Conlon, reflections on <em>Laudato Si&rsquo;</em>, and updated practices that incorporate another 25 years&rsquo; worth of experience in preparing lay people for community work and ministry.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Although the world has changed vastly in a quarter century, the need for an updated vision of Christianity that incorporates the truths of science with the soul of our faith has not.</p>
