God's Tender Creatures: Everyday Wisdom from the Innocents
Heartrending, provocative, inspiring, and endlessly amusing, this amazingly rich read features an appendix with Eight Essential Questions & Answers About God & Animals (providing some sound responses to those who ask, “Do animals have souls?” and “Do animals go to heaven?”). "God’s Tender Creatures: Everyday Wisdom from the Innocents" is a kaleidoscope of great storytelling, philosophical perspective, warm and revealing personal journaling, animal advocacy, academic curiosity, and both grounded and transcendent theologizing. Author K.J. Allison, with her wide-ranging experience and travel, weaves together a classic book on animals and the everyday wisdom gained by living with them, loving them, observing their passions, fears, loyalty, disobedience and abiding love. Because Allison has a keen interest in Scripture and man’s relationship to God, animals and each other, the wisdom of God’s Tender Creatures is often framed in Scripture and connected to the way God relates to all of creation. The book’s bibliography is a treasury for animal lovers and scholars alike, and sufficient in itself to recommend reading and keeping this book for enjoyment, enrichment, and as a trusted guide for what book to read next.
