Books
Fortress Press has recently released a new resource book entitled: Season of Creation. A Preaching Commentary,  by Norman Habel, David Rhoads and Paul Santmire.  This volume not only introduces The Season of Creation, it also provides a relevant theology of worship and commentary on the lectionary texts for the 3 year cycle of the Season of Creation.  These commentaries are written by leading biblical scholars from around the world who are sympathetic with the goal of worshipping with Creation.

Songs
Rev Ellie Stock from St. Louis, Missouri has offered a song she wrote to accompany Season of Creation services called Let the Earth Breathe. You can listen to get a rough guide of the melody here or download the lyrics and music.
