Hinds' Feet on High Places: The Original and Complete Allegory with a Devotional for Women Paperback – February 19, 2013

I had heard of this book for awhile, then finally read it. It exceeded my expectations. The brief devos added between chapters were insightful. Echoes of Pilgrims Progress, but with a different twist.

I see how the reviews state that this isn’t Christian book….I see and understand why some might feel this way. If you are solid and strong in your faith and knowledge of who God is- i would like to offer an: eat the meat and spit out the bones method of reading this book because there is a LOT of meat here.

The Good Shepherd's message to love, strengthen, and encourage us is beautifully rendered. It is a book of hope and perseverance.

This book is amazing! I could identify with the main character. It was a story about faith and bravery. I recommend everyone to read this. I don’t wanna say too much about it because I just want everybody to read it for themselves.

As an older woman looking over my life, our Sunday school class used this book for review of how God has lead us through life. What I did not understand about God's help was made clear in this book. We also had an excellent teacher as our guide and teacher.

Other than the Bible this is the best book I ever read. I have read ittwice and will read over and over.

The book arrived quickly and in great condition minus the messy cover. I purchased this for a friend who loves this book and will be leading it in a Bible study group.

When my brother was struggling with his faith, a coworker gave him this simple allegorical book about Jesus as "The Good Shepherd". Hannah Hurnard writes much like CS Lewis. After my brother finished reading this book, he got down on his knees and sincerely prayed, "Good Shepherd, if You truly exist, I will give you my entire life, if only you make MY feet like "Little Miss Much-Afraid"'s and You allow me to walk on The High Places with You! I don't care what price I must pay, just allow me to walk in the heights with You, Jesus. Amen." One week later, my brother was driving home in a 35mph zone when suddenly a drunk driver hit his car, directly from behind at a speed of 82 mph, paralyzing my dear brother, Jeff, from the neck down, permanently! I'm not at all suggesting this will happen to anyone else! But in God's omniscience, He knew Jeff needed to be in what Jeff called "his cacoon of protection" from a very seriously sinful prior life! Jeff suffered for many months at first as he began to learn how to live as a quadraplegic, but he never once complained. Never! He gave thanks to God for answering his prayer in this way. Jeff went on to graduate Liberty University. Then he went out in his wheelchair-lift van to testify and preach. I know that at least one thousand souls were saved after hearing his testimony and seeing the deep, abiding JOY in his eyes and heart! He changed thousands of lives for the Kingdom of God. Jeff died 15 years later, grateful to God and well satisfied that God did enable Jeff to walk on Hinds Feet in the High Places with his beloved Good Shepherd! Just as Jesus changed Little Miss Much Afraid's crippled feet, Jesus changed Jeff's paralyzed feet into the beautiful feet of those who are allowed to walk in the High Places of God's. Perhaps you're looking for a purpose in this life. Or you may just want to read a good allegory of life in Christ Jesus. Whatever your motive, I am sure anyone of any age will enjoy this delightful classic. And this version adds pages of devotions and things to consider with each chapter. I would give this book 100 stars if I could! This book guarantees to delight!
