A Grief Observed, October 20, 2002
This review is from: There is Eternal Life for Animals (Paperback)
There is Eternal Life for Animals: A Book Based on Bible Scripture (by Niki Behrikis Shanahan) offers real comfort for bereaved pet owners of faith. Investigated from a Christian perspective, Shanahan delves into both the Old and New Testament to scripturally make her point: That animals have souls and they will spend eternity with their owners. Using the Scriptures, she discusses how man?s sins affected all creatures, she describes a caring relationship between God and the animals, animals in Heaven and how, and how through Christ?s sacrifice the animals are also redeemed. She also covers a more secular perspective through near-death experiences where people have witnessed their pets on the other side.
Shanahan discusses the salvation of man and animals to convince the reader of an animal afterlife, not to convert the reader.
This book will be a real comfort to Christians who have been taught that cats and dogs have no ?soul.?

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW SAYS - OUTSTANDING!, July 22, 2003
This review is from: There is Eternal Life for Animals (Paperback)
I was excited when I received this book to review, actually, I asked the author for a copy which is something I rarely do.
If any of you have been following my reviews you know I am a Christian and an animal lover.
This year has been a tough one for me personally, as I have lost 5 dogs and to me
this was like losing family members.
I needed to read this book and I was not disappointed.
Is God truly interested in animals and what happens to them for eternity? The author has the answer to this question for you, with countless Scripture references, showing our loving Creator does indeed care about all of His creation, even your beloved Fideo.Thank God!
As an Ordained Minister of the Gospel I have always known that animals would be a part of eternity but never took the time to research the Scriptures on this subject as author Niki Shanahan has. I tip my hat to her for doing an outstanding job in bringing to light the truth of eternity for all living things.
If your heart is broken because you have lost your beloved pet, this book will bring you peace. If you question where animals go when they die, this book will quiet your mind and bring a smile to your lips. A book that can be read with the heart and with the intellect, this is a must read for all that love animals and for those who have stepped so low as to be cruel to God's creation. After reading this book you may just change your actions, I hope so.
Highly recommended reading, top of the line research. Excellent, Outstanding and Life changing! Good job Ms. Shanahan! Thank you

Losing Your Best Friend, January 1, 2003
This review is from: There is Eternal Life for Animals (Paperback)
Many people tell me how important their animals are to them. Some confide that they are closer to their pets than to family members. Many people take the loss of a dog or cat very hard. One way to work through the grief is to read about pet loss.
There is Eternal Life for Animals is based on Bible scripture. The Bible tells us that God loves animals and that there are animals in Heaven.
This book provides fascinating reading and consolation to those suffering from pet loss.
As the author of
The Older Cat; Recognizing Decline and Extending Life,
I have done a lot of research and writing in this area. I can testify to the need for this book.
