Summary
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.

Rather read "Folks this Ain't normal"
As a Christian, in a very similar type of church to Joel, and therefore the target audience of this book, I found it largely unconvincing.
I think Joel tried to hard to justify things from the Bible that just weren't there. This is known as eisogesis; reading ones own meaning into the bible rather than trying to extract the intended meaning, called exogesis.
The parts of the book that I found the most convincing were the parts that overlapped with "Folks this Ain't normal".
So as a Christian, just go read that book.

I'm not a practicing Christian but enjoyed it
Have read several other Joel books, didn't realise that this was specifically about christianity and faith in relation to farming. Still enjoyed it because he's awesome, does cover topics I was expecting of the book (catering to animals inbuilt natures), and gave me interesting perspectives about the philosophy of farming and religion.
