I think this may end up being one of my all-time favorite books. This man writes beautifully, and says all the things I feel about animals, but am too inarticulate to express on my own. I initially bought the book because I heard it was written from a Christian perspective, and that the author is conservative -- and I wanted to expose myself to a perspective that would appeal to Christians that I might encounter in conversations about animal welfare. But (a) he doesn't push the religion stuff a lot (he admits he's not terribly devout), and (b) the religious stuff he did bring in made me want to become a big ol' Christian myself. Or at least, it reminded me of the beautiful parts of Christianity, which I tend to forget most of the time. Religious elements aside, though, the whole book is extremely well written. The author seems super smart, and he addresses all the criticisms directed at animal welfare activists with reason, and sense, and sometimes a bit of sass. In fact, this book kind of majorly kicks ass -- in an erudite and restrained kind of way. I actually feel grateful that he wrote it.
