A Wonderful Writer With An All Embracing Vision
Published by 'House Of Light' Publishers. ISBN 9781622872763. (Also
available via Amazon.)
Dr Jackie Jones-Hunt, the writer of this of the book above, has
excelled herself in such a publication, and I learn that there are
more to follow! Indeed, in an age when 'top' denominations of
Christendom have come to commend each other while - at the same time -
viewing smaller branches of lesser orthodoxy as still outside of their
circle, this bright and far seeing writer sees a real place for
movements such as Christian Spiritualism, Swedenborg philosophy and
their concepts of animals as having a real place within.
The
gifted writer of this series knows that our Good Shepherd 'has the
whole world in His hands' and that His love embraces the whole of His
creation and not just a group of self-interested humans concerned
about their own hopeful ‘pie in the sky when they die!’!
God
grant all power to the pen of such a writer as this one whose books
should surely be amongst 'top priority' reading for Seminarians, Bible
students, and animal loving folk of all Faiths? And, one thing
is sure: once you start reading this author's books, you'll have
difficulty in putting them down. The fact is that she not only appeals
to the head but also to the heart as well. Indeed, I refer to today's
ecumenical movement as still stinted and not as all-embracing as it
should be; and this is so obviously also the view of Dr Jackie
Jones-Hunt who is no mean theologian!
Indeed, this writer is
one who really knows her subject matter due to having academically
specialised in other world Faiths and not just that of Western
Christendom. Yes indeed, Jesus said: "Other Sheep I have which are not
of this fold and them also I must bring!" Well, such is the concept of
the writer of this most helpful book, with the promise of more to
follow and complement it!
Such writings convey a love for all creation and also a most
necessary emphasis on ourselves; our relationship with animals; and -
most of all - our terrific responsibility to be caring guardians over
them: Yes, factors which 'so called' Christianity has failed to
address for far, far, too long! God will surely bless this bright,
vivacious and relevant writer whose books will be as a tonic and
breath of fresh air amongst so many works of dry academia which poor
Ordinands frequently slog through so as to be ‘equipped?’ to serve the
lowly Jesus Of Nazareth!
