{"product_id":"taking-the-adventure-gracia-fay-ellwood-9781625646521","title":"Taking the Adventure: Faith and Our Kinship with Animals","description":"What is the relationship between faith, especially Christian faith, and a lifestyle that respects animals as our neighbors and kin? Why should faith entail a commitment to vegetarianism? Are animals meant to be heirs of the kingdom of God as well as human beings? Taking the Adventure offers answers to these questions in the context of important biblical themes: of Eden and Exodus, of the prophetic imperative, of Jesus as a prophet proclaiming liberty to the oppressed and the captives, of the feast of the kingdom, of the resurrection and life beyond death. It explores imagery from familiar novels such as A Christmas Carol and The Hobbit that deal with cravings, anxiety, and true abundance. It proposes that committing ourselves to live in God-given peace with all living beings, and sharing with others the good news of that peace, is an adventure worth the best we can give--an arduous and painful, yet joyous adventure climaxing in return to the heart of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gracia Fay Ellwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625646526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625646521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Resource Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Gracia Fay Ellwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459582505215,"sku":"9781625646521","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5031e4a9-9e67-4474-968f-2b60feaeccc7.jpg?v=1777410602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taking-the-adventure-gracia-fay-ellwood-9781625646521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
