The essays in The Gift of Good Land are as true today as when they were first published in 1981; the problems addressed here are still true and the solutions no nearer to hand. The insistent theme of this book is the interdependence, the wholeness, the oneness of people, land, weather, animals, and family. To touch one is to tamper with them all. We live in one functioning organism whose separate parts are artificially isolated by our culture. Here, Berry develops the compelling argument that the “gift” of good land has strings attached. We have it only on loan and only for as long as we practice good stewardship.

God’s country isn’t found on a map. It’s found in His presence. From Best-Selling Author John Eckhardt... When God delivered the people of Israel, He brought them into a good land, flowing with milk and honey. The good land is a picture of kingdom living. As the people of God, we enter the good land through Jesus Christ and possess it by faith. The good land is a place of blessing, redemption, and restoration. It is a land of goodness, abundance, prosperity, excellence, refreshing, beauty, nourishment, blessing, satisfaction, plenty, and glory. In it, we inherit and enjoy the promises of God. The good land is God’s country. The good land is the kingdom. Using biblical and prophetic teaching, this book will give you a revelation of the peace, joy, and righteousness you can dwell in when you understand that you dwell in the good land. God promised the land to Abraham and his seed, and now through Christ, everyone can dwell in the land God has given—the land where all of the promises of God are yes and amen (2 Cor. 1:20). The good land is God’s country. The good land is the kingdom. Get the revelation of what it means to dwell in the land God has ordained for your life, and endless peace, joy, goodness, refreshing, and satisfaction will be yours for the rest of your days.

Set in fictional Fort Angus, Maine, Show Me Good Land tells the story of a small rural town struggling with poverty and decay after decades of prosperity. Loosely linked through a grisly murder, its characters must navigate the ambiguous moral landscape of a waning community. It is a moving, sometimes melancholy, often funny novel about family, community, loss, redemption, and coming home. The pleasure lies in exploring the personalities of the characters, none of whom are all good or all bad, and eventually deciding where the reader's own moral lines are drawn. Not since Carolyn Chute's The Beans of Egypt, Maine, has a cast of characters been so shocking, beautifully rendered, and ultimately likeable.

Is private ownership an inviolate right that individuals can wield as they see fit? Or is it better understood in more collective terms, as an institution that communities reshape over time to promote evolving goals? What should it mean to be a private landowner in an age of sprawling growth and declining biological diversity? These provocative questions lie at the heart of this perceptive and wide-ranging new book by legal scholar and conservationist Eric Freyfogle. Bringing together insights from history, law, philosophy, and ecology, Freyfogle undertakes a fascinating inquiry into the ownership of nature, leading us behind publicized and contentious disputes over open-space regulation, wetlands protection, and wildlife habitat to reveal the foundations of and changing ideas about private ownership in America. Drawing upon ideas from Thomas Jefferson, Henry George, and Aldo Leopold and interweaving engaging accounts of actual disputes over land-use issues, Freyfogle develops a powerful vision of what private ownership in America could mean—an ownership system, fair to owners and taxpayers alike, that fosters healthy land and healthy economies.
