Editorial Review: Product Description: It began as a simple investigation into environmental policy in the Sierra Nevadas. But what journalist Stephenie Hendricks uncovered turned out to be a far bigger story, the ramifications of which affect the entire globe. Hendricks discovered that the development of American environmental policy in the Bush administration is being driven by Dominion Theologists-far-right Christian ideologues who believe that by exhausting our natural resources they will hasten the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Known in policy circles as the "wise-use" doctrine, the theory is startling enough in implication, but even more chilling in practice-some officials say the Bush administration did not sign the Kyoto Accord on fighting global warming because it was "against God's prophecies." And as Hendricks investigates the Dominion Theologists' power within the government and profiles some of its leading proponents, she reveals where their funding comes from and charts their regular intersection with the mining and logging industries, real estate developers, off-road vehicle manufacturers, and even The Walt Disney Company. She also tells the often frightening story of those people who dare to resist their policies-for example, the retiree who challenged the destruction of a national forest near her home only to have her life threatened. Divine Destruction is, in short, an in-depth look at the radical remaking of American environmental policy already underway-in terrifying secret. Stephenie Hendricks is an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist with a 35-year career working for mainstream and progressive media. She has worked for ABC Radio, CBS TV San Francisco, and is currently a Pacifica Radio producer. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - How to mask an agenda of greed"Divine Destruction" by Stephanie Hendricks discusses Christian extremism and the environment. Importantly, the author shows how misguided Christian ideologists play themselves into the hands of the anti-environmental agenda of big business. While the book is small and could benefit from additional research and historical context, its cogent message is timely, urgent and relevant. Ms. Hendricks explains that Reconstructionists care little for preventing environmental destruction; rather, ... Read More Rating: - A somewhat thin analysis of an incredibly important issueThis is a very timely book on a very important issue that is unfortunately somewhat marred by a lack of depth on some of the issues. The timeliness stems partly from the popular success of Al Gore's extremely fine documentary AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH and partly from recent polls that indicate some fragmentation in the Religious Right, as some evangelicals have broken rank over environmental issues. Over the past several decades poll after poll has shown the vast majority of Americans to be avid supporters ...

We owe it to our children to become informed about the machinations of some of our politicians and their corporate allies. It is painful to realize, but we must take action before the destruction is irremediable. We must unite in our protest.
