I looked forward to reading this book but was disappointed. I like the idea, but felt the author didnt deliver for me.
The book begins in part one with a discussion on compassion, humanity - all good so far, moves into divine will - ok, and ends with chapters titled "Sacrifice, crucifixion and resurrection of the animals", "Transforming power of positive thought and prayer" and "Prayer power in action". This is where is started to lose me. While I am in favour of positive thought, positive action and so on, I felt this book descended into something of a mish mash of New Age ideas and old hippy ways.
Things picked a little in part two where we get onto the prayers and blessings, but even this section wore me down. Overall, very disappointing.

I really liked this one. It brought me a lot of comfort. I especially liked the focus on Gandhi and MLK throughout the book. I'm thankful to have people like that to look up to. This will be one of those rare books that I will want to go back to again and again.
You may not like this book if you do not believe in any kind of spiritual reality, but on the other hand, there is a lot just on general peace and nonviolence that would inspire anyone, I think.

I absolutely love the twist on the book title. The book is an excellent reference for animal activists. The book shows how animal rights are essential in making the world a better place
