Review

Your book, Will I See Fido in Heaven?, drove me to a careful personal study of the Bible's animal passages in the original languages. These passages adequately prove to me that air-breathing animals are not merely biochemical machines. Your book is filled with excellent information as well as a compassion for God's most amazing earthly creation outside the human race. I believe it correctly reveals that God has an eternal plan for the animal world. It will be a great comfort to the Christian who has lost a beloved animal friend, as well as an open door for the animal lover who has to consider his or her own relationship to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. --Reverend Jeff Harker, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Columbia City, IN

I have read the book and am sure it will help many people. It is a book for animal lovers and expecially people with pets, or those who have lost pets. It is very Biblical, which means that Christian bookshops will love it. It has certainly raised my awareness of this issue. --Annabel Robson, Commissioning Editor Religious Books, Hodder & Stoughton Publishers, London, England

From the Author

Many Christians do not believe that animals go to Heaven. I have to admit that for more than 40 years, I was one of them. But one day as I was reading the book of Romans, I was amazed at what I read. I called some friends and before long, through various contacts, there was a team of Christians studying the word of God and delving into old Hebrew and Greek word study guides to seek the truth. The results were joyous and shocking. One person, Roger Fritz, delved into every word, phrase, and sentence making sure we stayed focused on the mortality and immortality of both man and animals. In comparing the differences, we discovered God's wondrous design for the earthly and eternal survival of the lives of every living creature and the eternal choice man must make concerning his own destination. It has been a most fascinating journey. We all hope you will have much fun, joy, laughter, and grow in your knowledge, and Godly wisdom. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars knowing that God has not forgotten our pets., September 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Will I See Fido in Heaven?: Scripturally Revealing God's Eternal Plan for His Lesser Creatures (Paperback)

When Samson passed away I was grief stricten and angry with God.I had talked with Priests and the like and the answer was the same pets dont have souls and therefore no enterence to heaven.This was truly a God send and written with the love and compassion that we share with through Gods love and gifts to and through them. I so loved this book that I gave one to our library, A Priest whom I found to also believe pets also join us in heaven and one for my family. Losing a pet is losing a family member and they are with God waiting for us gives great comfort. I felt better having Biblical proof that what I longed for was truly there in the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comforting, hopeful, inspired book, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Will I See Fido in Heaven?: Scripturally Revealing God's Eternal Plan for His Lesser Creatures (Paperback)

This is a book every Christian needs to read. It shows the importance God gives to His beloved creatures. We are here as stewards of God's creation. We should treat all animals with compassion.

But for us pet-lovers, for those of us who consider our pets as family members, this book should give great comfort; a lot of loving work has gone into producing it. Pets will, indeed go to Heaven; the author has done a wonderful job demonstrating this from Scripture, with inspired comments of her own.Now, the question is, will we meet the Lord's requirements so that we will be able to join our innocent four-legged (or two) beloved companions there? We must be born again; they have no need of this.

This book could be a good conversion tool for the animal-lover who has not made a decision for the Lord.

This review is from: Will I See Fido in Heaven?: Scripturally Revealing God's Eternal Plan for His Lesser Creatures (Paperback)

I've been a Christian for many years. I don't ever recall hearing a sermon on this subject. I am grateful to Ms. Buddemeyer-Porter for showing me that God has included my pets in his plans. I was skeptical at first, but I kept my Bible with me while reading her book, and I checked up on her use of the scriptures to back what she said. I was pleasantly surprised and blessed to see that the answers were always in the Word, and that I had just not noticed them before.

This is an exceptionally inspirational book!
