Do Dogs Go To Heaven? is a question the author’s Mom asked a number of ministers. Hearing each one give different “shallow” answers, Jean Holmes felt this question deserved a better answer. The Bible does answer her Mom’s question with an emphatic “YES!” Long held theology that animals lack souls and spirits is soundly refuted with numerous Bible texts. This book addresses hard questions, like why God required animal sacrifices, in loving truth. The role of animals and the relationship Jesus Christ had with animals is illuminating. This book presents a brilliant tapestry of Bible verses, interwoven with animal behavior and intelligence studies, and anecdotal evidence of animals as intelligent, caring companions here and in the hereafter. Bible accounts of animals as healers, helpers and rescuers are laid against modern narratives. Do Dogs Go to Heaven is very readable, yet crafted with scholarly precision. It is already providing comfort to those who have lost loved animal friends.
