There she gains a new name and then returns to her valley of service, transformed by her union with the loving Shepherd. This edition of Hinds' Feet on High Places includes two special sections: Hannah Hurnard's own account of the circumstances that led her to write Hinds' Feet on High Places, and a brief autobiography of the author's life as told in the book, Hearing Heart.… (more)

As one other reviewer wrote (which are my exact sentiments): This book has become one of those cornerstone books for me, one that has literally and figuratively changed my life. It has helped spell out in words much of what I want in terms of my relationship with God, and what God wants with me. It

 has also described to some degree parts of my journey so far, and sheds light, be it figuratively, on what is ahead of me. It scares and thrills me at the same time.

A beautiful allegory of the Christian growth process. The author concludes, "The only way (to victory and union with Christ)is by learning to accept, day by day, the actual conditions and tests permitted by God, by a continually repeated laying down of our own will and acceptance of His as it is

Such a good Bible study book. It has comforted me so much with the truths of Jesus in a good allegorical tale. I have loved this book since I was a little girl.

An absolutely beautiful allegory to a walk with Jesus. I cry every time I read it. I like that it's a realistic view of a walk with the Lord. It's not all sun and flowers. It's difficult at times. But in the end, it's all worth it.

Mom and daughter have enjoyed this book for years. It is an illustrated version of Hannah Hurnard's paperback book and the language is simplified. At the end of each chapter, questions are included for reflection. This book was instrumental in our daughter's spiritual growth starting from around

Beautiful book. It really helped me to understand Jesus and His love for me as I heal from losing my 6th-month-old baby.

I’ve loved allegories since I was too young to understand them—merely enjoyed the stories they gave me—but I didn’t come across Hinds’ Feet until a bit later in life. What a wonderful book! I discovered I had a lot in common with Much-Afraid—more than I like to admit a lot of the time.

 And combined with some of the lessons she learned along the way, I’ve still got a lot of things to ponder. This stretched and encouraged me, and has stayed with me much longer than I thought it might. If you enjoy stories that pull you closer to Jesus, this is a good choice. This will definitely be a re-read for me!

I had such mixed feelings about this book. It is a Christian allegory, that has some great themes, and it does make you think, but I

 wasn't a fan of the writing style. Much-Afraid is called by the Shepherd to make a journey to His Kingdom of Love, where he will give her a new name. It was a really strange mix of biblical language and more modern language. She kept switching between Thee and Thou and You, etc. Also, it was really repetitive. The descriptions were wordy, but repetitive. I felt like I was having De'ja vu. I also felt like I was being spoon-fed a majority of the time. It actually has some very similar themes to Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis, which I will be re-reading for my challenges this year, but Till We Have Faces is far superior in my opinion. There was one part in this book that drove me crazy. The Shepherd asks Much-Afraid if she would still love Him if he seemed to deceive her. She replied that she knows He cannot lie, so she would still love him. Then He asks if she would still love Him if he really did deceive her. She replied that, yes, it wouldn't matter if He really liked to her, she loves him and would still follow him. Now, I'm not a theologian or anything, but this makes absolutely no sense to me. The Shepherd is God. God cannot lie. So, if the Shepherd could lie it would mean he is not God, so she shouldn't follow him in that case. It was just a really weird scene. I do think that some people would really like this book, and I did relate in certain ways, so it's definitely a mixed bag for me.
