Summary: Perspective for the Journey
Review: This book is like Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress only in that they are both allegories that give a wonderful overview and perspective of the Christian life. But Hinds Feet in High Places has much more heart, and I found it to stir the heart and soul in deep ways. It is the story of Much-Afraid leaving the Valley of Fear that she has always known, and embarking on a journey to become a new creation. The thing about this book is that it talks about the deepest longings and fears of our hearts in following God--following Him when we can't see ahead of us, when we feel like we're going in circles, when we feel like He is not taking us where we want to go, and how following Him can mean laying down the deepest desires of our hearts just because God asks us to, and we know Him to be good and loving. I enjoyed this book immensely, and found it both challenging and filled with grace; which is a rare find in Christian books which often offer only one or the other. All in all this is a love story between Much Afraid and her God; a God who calls her to a path that is filled with sorrow and suffering that take her to a deeper place of dependence on him, and also a God who is there the instant she calls for Him. This is a book that I will probably read every couple of years, as I am at different places in my own journey, and will always see something new that I didn't see before. It is well worth investing in.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Read this book many years ago when I first received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This book helps you understand what your true purpose is on the plant and how we must begin to see ourselves through His eyes. In order to fully understand the Spirit of God you must have His spirit in you. Otherwise one would think this is just a nice uplifting book and miss the true meaning. I recommend this book to everyone who is seeking a closer walk with the Lord. Knowing that there are a lot of religions out there - God is not looking for a religion. He is looking for those who believe in His Son and want a relationship with Him. So if your not a Christian you won't understand. Grace and Peace.

Summary: Religious Clarification
Review: In the reviews posted below, I see many referrals to Jesus Christ, so I want to clarify an important point. The novel is written from a relatively open theological perspective. While the author does occasionally refer to text in the Bible, by no means does she assert that Christianity and/or Jesus Christ are the only ways to find happiness. Clearly, all religions are a means to a common end (though they waste much time trying to establish divisions), and the principles taught in the book are relevant to people of all faiths. i.e. I am not a Christian, and I loved the story.

Review: This book is easy to read from probably ages 7 and up. It may seem too simple for adults, but the message is clear about God's sovereignty, Christ's love, and our redemtion. A great present for everyone, and your own library to read over and over to be reminded of who we are in Christ!

Summary: Why it ought be read
Review: Hind's Feet... is a life changing book. If you are a Christian and the Fruit of the Spirit evade you, day by day, year by year, read this book. It probably won't answer your situation specifically, but your ears will be opened wider to hear the specifics from God. If you are not a Christian, this book tells the raw and beautiful truth about how and why there are still Christians in this world, even though the vast majority of them are bored, unhappy, or hypocritical, by all appearances. This book is about real, vibrant, difficult, exaltant Christianity. Read it with a soft heart and you will be blessed.

Summary: Inspirational
Review: I have read this book about five times. Each time I come across something else that bring clarity to why we must suffer through some things in our lives. This book is an amazing example of how our weaknesses and struggles, when given into the hands of the "Shepard", help us to climb higher so that ultimately we can be a blessing to someone else. We are not expected to be perfect people, just willing to be molded by the "Master's" hands.

Summary: a good book
Review: Overall when I finished reading I was pleased with it, but I noticed when reading that at times there were sentences that just didn't make sense, and I suggest looking up the verse in Habbakuk and form a definition in your mind of what "hinds feet" are before you read the book. The story is encouraging and reminices one of Pilgrim's Progress. It moves very quickly and one rarely is bogged down. One identifies with Much-Afraid from their own life.
