Compassion For Animals

Comprising a rich variety of quotations from some of the greatest thinkers in the Christian tradition, this new anthology will encourage a more sensitive and compassionate regard for the animal creation. Suitable for use by groups or individuals, Compassion for Animals will become a valuable resource for discussion and worship--whether in church, in school, or in the home.
