Will My Pet Go to Heaven?: Amazon.ca: Steve Wohlberg: Books

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Americans seem to have a deep and perpetually unresolved theological question: Will our pets be with us in the afterlife? In Will My Pet Go to Heaven?, the latest gauntlet to be thrown down in the will-Rover-find-Elysium debate, evangelical Christian Steve Wohlberg comes down firmly in favor of the idea that our furry friends will indeed accompany us to some paradisiacal Valhalla. Readers should come armed with Kleenex for the inevitable stories of pets who save humans' lives, return to their owners despite moves and accidental separations or try to communicate with their loved ones from beyond the grave. Wohlberg opens the book with an account of the devastating loss of his own dog to a car accident in October 2001. These personal stories are heartfelt and memorably told, but they do not compensate for the book's poor biblical analysis, which consists of simplistic proof-texting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, July 10 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Will My Pet Go to Heaven? (Paperback)

This book does have some nice thoughts in it but there is only a fraction of the book that actually deals with scripture. Like other similar books it's a lot of opinion, and opinion which is not even encouraging! Basically he says we don't know for sure that our pets are in heaven and that we must come to our own conclusion! He stresses so much about how people are so much more important than animals to God and that Jesus died only for humans not animals! Ha! (Rom 5:8)
There is only one little review at the back of the book. He says all we can do is "hope" that our furry friends will be with us. He does say he believes in a "real possibility" of this happening! He says that animals can't think, they can only give love. I think animals can think, don't you? Of course they can think! And he says that it's a "no brainer" that we should think that a human's eternal life is more important than our pets." Real encouraging huh! He contradicts himself because one of the nice things he teaches is that since animals display so much love and compassion he asks "where do such feelings come from anyway?" Well if they can show love like that well then they must be able to THINK! I feel for his loss of his precious little dog and all but I think Steve Wohlberg should stick to his specialty which is Bible Prophecy.
I've read several books on the subject of animal afterlife and the best one I've found is "There Is Eternal Life For Animals" by Niki Behrikis Shanahan as it details Bible Scripture and shows from the Scriptures how much God loves ALL His creation and it proves from the scriptures that animals ARE going to heaven. That is what a grieving pet parent needs to hear, not just someone's opinion.

This review is from: Will My Pet Go to Heaven? (Paperback)

Get the kleenex ready, because this is a heartwarming tear-jerker. However, it will provide some comfort and assistance in dealing with the grief of losing a beloved pet. An ideal gift book for the animal lovers in your life. Buy several copies at a time, and keep them on hand, for when the appropriate occasion arises, and for when the right words fail.

This review is from: Will My Pet Go to Heaven? (Paperback)

This is a wonderful, heartwarming book. It helped me tremendously after several of my pets died. This book gave me peace of mind as well as hope for the future. It is written in a clear, concise, easy-to-understand manner & would be helpful if read to children as well. I raise show dogs & will be recommending this book to all my puppy buyers for the time when the inevitable happens. If you have lost a pet at any time of your life, this book will help you with the grieving process. Be sure to have a box of tissues at hand!
