Summary:
Joan Chittister, one of
our
leading inspirational writers, invites
us
to embrace and celebrate the deep bond between humans and animals. Heart-warming stories and thought-provoking reflections
about
sharing
life
with an
animal
companion. The relationships we form with animals - with
dogs
, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, and other pets - are full of joys and rewards.
Our
companion animals draw
us
out of ourselves and show
us
what
it truly means to be alive. They
teach
us
to accept
life
's struggles and to cherish its pleasures and the importance of being able to accept ourselves and respect others. They help
us
to find purpose and meaning in
what
we do, and to overcome challenges and setbacks. In
our
treasured animals we observe varying degrees of excitement and play, of love and fear. And we realize their beautiful uniqueness, their sensitivities and strong sense of purpose. The book illuminates the significance of sharing
our
lives with a pet and celebrates the great gift of animals in
our
world. Joan Chittister is the executive director of Benetvision, a resource and research center for contemporary spirituality. She is past president of the Conference of American Benedictine Prioresses and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. Her many books include The Gift of Years.
