The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs

Respecting and Caring for All God's Creation

By: Joel Salatin

Narrated by: Joel Salatin

From Christian libertarian farmer Joel Salatin, a clarion call to listeners to honor the animals and the land and to produce food based on spiritual principles.

Joel Salatin is perhaps the nation's best known farmer, whose environmentally friendly, sustainable Polyface Farms has been featured in Food, Inc. and Time magazine. Now, in his first audiobook written for a faith audience, Salatin offers a deeply personal argument for earth stewardship and calls for fellow Christians to join him in looking to the Bible for a foodscape in line with spiritual truth. Salatin urges Christians to rethink America's allegiance to cheap corporate food that destroys creation in its production, impoverishes third world countries, and supports oligarchical interests. He wonders why Christians ignore and even revel in unhealthy eating habits and factory farming that runs counter to God's design. With scripture and biblical stories, Salatin presents an alternative and shows listeners that in appreciating the pigness of pigs, we celebrate the glory of God.

Well put

Joel's reasoning was easy to follow. I have heard some of the info and data that Joel presents here and it was interesting to see it all come together.

Life Changing. Inspiring.

Not enough superlatives to describe this book and the read. Thanks Joel for setting things straight.

Amen! Preach it Brother!!

I really appreciated how Joel connects the physical (food & farming) with the spiritual (faith & God). We often separate the two and yet to God and the world He made they are interconnected and wonderfully amazing.

This book will make you think and ask some hard questions about what you may have thought was not part of your Faith and challenge you to do things differently!

I would recommend this book to anyone that eats, buys or grows food!!!

Joel does a great job of narrating his book. I have heard him in person and this is how he is; passionate, energetic and inspiring!

Wonderful insights for every Christian!

Joel Salatin is akin to a modern day prophet with a warning or our time

a very important message for the church

Joel salatin has put into words something I have been feeling for a while. When you look at industrial Farms you know they're wrong this tells you why.

Awesome book. We all need to examine our own lives

Joel tells it like it really is. Do you know where your food comes from? We all must ask ourselves is my food ethically sourced?

A righteous indictment on how many of us view the world

A convicting book for anyone, particularly Christians, and anyone who thinks they care about our environment and food. Joel brings an enlightening perspective on what is actually going on in the food industry and what each one of us should be doing to ensure that our bodies and our lands continue on as God intended them to be.

A needed work!

I love this message! Such a practical exploration of Christian stewardship and its place in the fuller picture of the Gospel.

A message needed!

Joel broaches a topic needed for serious consideration for any Christian serious about continued spiritual growth and witness

Fantastic balanced look at our food system

Love love love this book! Joel does such a good job of explaining the hubris of the American food system of “bigger, faster, cheaper” and explains why deviating from ancient patterns of land and animal management has polluted and destroyed our environment: people included. Repetitive at times, this book makes so many powerful points you can overlook it’s minor flaws and listening to Joel narrate it itself makes it so enjoyable and reasonable. EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER!!!!!
