  • HOPE ALWAYS

    As a physician and minister, Dr. Sleeth shares his personal and professional experiences with depression and suicide, challenging Christians to become part of the solution. With sound medical principles finding their rightful place beside timeless biblical wisdom, Hope Always offers the practical and spiritual tools that individuals, families, and churches need to help loved ones who are stressed and struggling.

  • REFORESTING FAITH

    In this groundbreaking walk through Scripture, Matthew Sleeth, MD, convincingly makes the case why trees are essential to every Christian’s understanding of God. There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis and the last page of Revelation. The Bible refers to itself as a Tree of Life (Proverbs 3:18), and every major Biblical character has a tree associated with them. Join Matthew Sleeth as he explores the wonders of life, death, and rebirth through the trail of trees in Scripture. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods—and through Scripture—will never be the same.

  • 24/6

    “Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.” Sounds nice, but how can we possibly have “ears to hear” when we are plugged in 24/7. The solution is simple. And it is endorsed by the Great Physician Himself. It’s called Sabbath rest. Matthew Sleeth, MD, shares how his own family was dramatically transformed when it adopted Sabbath practices and helps readers better understand how their own lives can be transformed — physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually— by adopting the 24/6 lifestyle.

  • SERVE GOD, SAVE THE PLANET

    Not long ago, Matthew Sleeth, MD, was living the American Dream. He had a great job as chief of the medical staff at a New England hospital and a successful life—until he saw an increasing number of patients suffering from cancer, asthma, and other chronic illnesses. Turning to Jesus for guidance Matthew Sleeth discovered how the Scriptural lessons of personal responsibility, simplicity, and stewardship lead to greater joy. Serving God, Saving the Planet is both a practical guide and a hopeful invitation to join God in healing our hurting world.

  • THE GREEN BIBLE

    The Green Bible will equip and encourage you to see God's vision for creation and help you engage in the work of healing and sustaining it. This first Bible of its kind includes inspirational essays from key leaders such as N. T. Wright, Barbara Brown Taylor, Brian McLaren, Matthew Sleeth, Pope John Paul II, and Wendell Berry. As you read the scriptures anew, The Green Bible will help you see that caring for the earth is not only a calling, but a lifestyle.

  • THE GOSPLE ACCORDING TO EARTH

    In The Gospel According to Earth, Matthew Sleeth, MD, retells the counter-culture Bible stories that motivated his environmental journey. The Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us about how our transportation choices affect our global neighbors. The prophet Daniel calls us to question our dietary habits. And the story of Noah addresses key questions about how we relate to the Creator, to our human communities, and to the rest of the natural world. With passion and faith, Sleeth provides a new green lens through which we can read the Bible to discover answers to our biggest questions about the environment and God wants us to care for it.

  • ALMOST AMISH

    Have you ever stopped to think, Maybe the Amish are on to something? Look around. We tweet while we drive, we talk while we text, and we surf the Internet until we fall asleep. We are essentially plugged in and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rather than mastering technology, we have allowed technology to master us. We are an exhausted nation. No one has enough time, everyone feels stressed out, and our kids spend more hours staring at a screen each week than they do playing outside. It’s time to simplify our lives, make faith and family the focal point, and recapture the lost art of simple living. Building on the basic principles of Amish life, Nancy Sleeth shows readers how making conscious choices to limit (and in some cases eliminate) technology’s hold on our lives and getting back to basics can help us lead calmer, more focused, less harried lives that result in stronger, deeper relationships with our families, friends, and God.

  • GO GREEN, SAVE GREEN

    Many people want to “go green” but put it off because they believe it's too time consuming and too expensive. Not so! Nancy Sleeth and her family have been living an eco-friendly lifestyle for years saving both time and money. Now, for the first time, she divulges hundreds of practical, easy-to-implement steps that you can take to create substantial money savings while protecting the earth. Sleeth also demonstrates how going green helps people live more God-centered lives by becoming better stewards of financial and natural resources.
