Book Description
What is the purpose of animals? Didn't God give humans dominion over other creatures? Didn't Jesus eat lamb? These are the kinds of questions that Christians who advocate compassion toward other animals regularly face. Yet Christians who have a faith-based commitment to care for other animals through what they eat, what they wear, and how they live with other creatures are often unsure how to address these biblically and theologically based challenges. In A Faith Embracing All Creatures, authors from various denominational, national, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds wrestle with the text, theology, and tradition to explain the roots of their desire to live peaceably with their nonhuman kin. Together, they show that there are no easy answers on "what the Bible says about animals." Instead, there are nuances and complexities, which even those asking these questions may be unaware of. Editors Andy Alexis-Baker and Tripp York have gathered a collection of essays that wrestle with these nuances and tensions in Scripture around nonhuman animals. In so doing, they expand the discussion of nonviolence, peacemaking, and reconciliation to include the oft-forgotten other members of God's good creation.

Book Description
"Ask the animals" Job says, "and they will teach you; the birds of the air and they will tell you . . . who among you does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?" From the humpback whale, who offers a glimpse into God's mystery; to the elephant, who models God's fiercely protective love and compassion; to the blackbird, who opens our eyes to the song of joy that sings through the cosmos, the animal kingdom is a treasure trove of images of our Creator. In this beautifully illustrated collection of essays, readers will find surprising connections and much food for thought. Ask the Animals is a wonderful resource for private devotion or group study.

Book Description
Why should Christians care about animals? Is there a biblical basis for abstaining from eating animals? Is avoiding companies that use (and misuse) animals a viable way for Christians to live out the message of God? Sarah Withrow King makes the argument that care for all of creation is no 'far-fetched' idea that only radical people would consider, but rather a faithful witness of the peaceful kingdom God desires and Jesus modelled. This includes all living and breathing creatures that share this earth with us. King uses her decade-plus of experience as a vegan, her seminary education, her evangelical Christian faith, and her years working with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to call Christians to examine how we treat and view the nonhuman animals with whom we share a finite planet.

Book Description
Fresh biblical take on a transcending, divine grace that embraces all of God's creatures This broad-ranging, groundbreaking book by William Greenway unfolds a biblical spirituality centering on love for all creation and all creatures. Greenway rereads the creation and flood narratives in Genesis from an overtly creature-loving perspective that not only inspires care for creation but also reveals sophisticated understandings of faith, grace, and evil vital for twenty-first-century spirituality. Comparing the ancient Israelite cosmology of Genesis both with the ancient Babylonian cosmology of the Enuma Elish and with the modern Darwinian cosmology of Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan, Greenway shows how the Bible in Genesis extends far beyond those other cosmologies in its discernment of the transcending, gracious love of God. Standing at the intersection of animal rights, "green" biblical studies, and philosophical theology, Greenway's For the Love of All Creatures will interest and inform a wide range of readers.

Book Description
Knowledge without God is not the Truth. Only Truth leads us to the meaning of life as the power of life is in God. God is the everlasting Truth. Faith without understanding of Faith is an unfinished work in Faith. Each and everyone of us needs to discover our true identity of who we are before we could truly inherit the fullness of life as we desire to live a life filled with gifts in fullest measure of Peace, Love and Joy in our hearts now and forevermore. The objective of this Book is not to put down any religious beliefs, teachings, laws and practices we embrace. Its intention is to discover who we are in the spiritual realm and how our identity relates to God, who is our Creator and Master of this universe, and how this Father and Child relationship gives us freedom of Peace, which is the ultimate goal in humanity with an assured destiny of eternal life in the kingdom of God. God loves you. Jesus loves you. Amen. Each and every living soul in the history of mankind is a child of God. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Blood and flesh do not inherit the kingdom of God. Conquering Jerusalem is likened to men's attempts to attain divinity and righteousness with the might and knowledge of the flesh. Such repeated feats as recorded throughout the history of mankind would never bring down the kingdom of God from heaven to earth. Our Heavenly Father is a God of Peace, Love and Harmony. He is not a God of War, Hatred and Division. Misguided beliefs and biblical misinterpretations through religious laws of men in the flesh had inflected countless and senseless innocent bloodsheds upon mankind. Walking with faith in the flesh is knowledge. Walking with faith in the spirit is truth. All men shall be born again of the Word of God which is full of truth and grace, to fully embrace God and live eternally in His divine Truth and Spirit. The Word of God is embedded in all men as each man is born with a given measure of faith in the Word of God. I humbly express this Book as the priceless companion guide in studying the Word of God that shall bring forth healing to all souls throughout the nations on earth. All glory be unto our Father God. This Book shall serve as good text material for interfaith dialogue. It is the preordained duty of believers in Christ to share the Gospel of Light to members of other beliefs with understanding and love. This Book contains end times prophecy. The future middle eastern war is coming soon! The return of Chris is a certainty. Amen. Hope this Book would bring forth abundance of insightful revelations and joyful enlightenment in your heart and soul. Be very blessed within His presence of gracious embrace and enjoy reading it. In Christ and through Christ, we all live again. God bless. Jesus loves all of you. Amen!

Book Description
We're all going to die. Yet in our medically advanced, technological age, many of us see death as a distant reality--something that happens only at the end of a long life or to other people. In The End of the Christian Life, Todd Billings urges Christians to resist that view. Instead, he calls us to embrace our mortality in our daily life and faith. This is the journey of genuine discipleship, Billings says: following the crucified and resurrected Lord in a world of distraction and false hopes. Drawing on his experience as a professor and father living with incurable cancer, Billings offers a personal yet deeply theological account of the gospel's expansive hope for small, mortal creatures. Artfully weaving rich theology with powerful narrative, Billings writes for church leaders and laypeople alike. Whether we are young or old, reeling from loss or clinging to our own prosperity, this book challenges us to walk a strange but wondrous path: in the midst of joy and lament, to receive mortal limits as a gift, an opportunity to give ourselves over to the Lord of life.

Book Description
Embracing God In The Right Perspective looks like a fantastic analytical exploration in theology. What can you tell us about it? What are the key selling points of this Book? This Book shakes the foundations of our civilized humanity - our historical religious beliefs to the very core. It guides us in discovering our truthful identity in God, It reveals the inseparable relationship between Man and God, enlightens us on the world to come and the ultimate predetermined destiny of mankind in God's plan. Knowledge without God's enlightenment is not the Truth. Faith without understanding of faith, is an unfinished work in faith. Christ came from heaven to earth to reveal the truthful identity, original divine nature and ultimate predetermined destiny of Man. Christ is a son of God, so is Man. The spirit of Man is born of God. Christ was born out of the womb of virgin Mary. It was the works of the Spirit, not the works of the flesh. Circumcision meant crucifixion of the sinful nature of the flesh on the Cross under the perfect Law of God. Abraham was called the father of righteousness because he walked by faith, and not by sight of the flesh in the physical realm. Faith is a present form of future prophetic events. Isaac was born out of a dead womb. There was no distinction between Isaac and Ishmael. Both were sons of God in the spiritual realm. God did not separate them, only men did. Repentance comes when there is self-awareness and one realizes his or her own truthful identity as a child of God. The Word of God created the world and everything that is inside it including Man. The Word of God is embedded in the heart of every man as each man is given a measure of faith. When faith is activated in the Word of God, one is born again as a righteous child of God and he or she inherits His kingdom. That is the Mark of Righteousness. Christ came to earth as son of Man. His physical mortal corrupted body was crucified on the Cross. And He was resurrected in His heavenly immortal glorious body as son of God. First came the flesh, then came the spirit. First came the Law through Moses, then came Christ. The Law put the flesh to death and Man is born again in resurrection as heavenly child of God. Didn't the scriptures say, "The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first". The Word of God shall heal and resurrect every man to be born again in resurrection. Isn't this the same faith affirmed by the saints throughout the Gospel which sheds light on immortality and righteousness in His kingdom? Man has been baptized by faith through grace of God unto the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Didn't the scriptures say, "By the stripes of the Lord, we have been healed". Salvation is a graceful gift of God. All men shall be born to live again in Christ and through Christ. All glory, honor and praise be unto our Heavenly Father God. Amen! What will readers get out of this Book? The truthful identity, the original divine nature and the ultimate predetermined destiny of Man. God did not create Man to be tempted by the devil to fall into sin and thereafter to be thrown into the eternal lake of fire (hell). The Word of God embedded in the heart of every man does not reside in hell. The Word of God resides in heaven.

Book Description
In this book, Kris Hiuser argues that if we are called to represent God to creation, and creation to God, then this has considerable bearing on understanding what it means to be human, as well as informing human action towards non-human creatures.
