A Spiritual Book Of Great Essays Regarding Animals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I am shocked that nobody has reviewed this invaluable book. It contains essays by mystical saints and Christian luminaries including John Wesley, Albert Schweitzer, Bishop Butler, C.S. Lewis and Leo Tolstoy. All the aforementioned loved animals and wrote on subjects such as vegetarianism, vivisection, an afterlife for animals and cruelty in general. The most compelling essays pertain to an afterlife for animals and the idea that all life is sacredly interconnected because men and animals both emanate from the same omnipotent Creator! Being cruel to animals is an egregious affront to their Creator !
