Author of 'Serve God, Save the Planet' and 'Gospel According to the Earth'.
More LessJ. Matthew Sleeth, MD, a former emergency room physician, felt like he was straightening deck chairs on the Titanic saving one patient at a time while the whole ship (Earth) was going down. Together with his wife and two teenaged children, he began to bring his lifestyle in line with his values, cutting back on their fossil fuel by two thirds and electricity use by nine tenths.
Following a new calling, Dr. Sleeth resigned from his position as chief of the medical staff and director of the ER to teach, preach, and write about faith and the environment throughout the country. His book, Serve God and Save the Planet: A Christian Call to Action, was released in by Zondervan in April 2007.
Dr. Sleeth is a graduate of George Washington University School of Medicine and has two post doctoral fellowships. For more information on the Sleeths’ spiritual and environmental journey, please visit www.blessedearth.org.
