Description
Among the many pressing social concerns that have galvanized evangelical Christians' response—abortion, human trafficking, environmental degradation, and many others—the care of animals has received relatively little attention.
Yet as author Sarah Withrow King deftly uncovers in Vegangelical, animal stewardship is a necessary aspect of a holistic ethic of Christian peace and justice. Indeed, care for animal welfare correspondingly strengthens our care for environmental and human flourishing.
Practical, restrained in its conclusions, and grounded on a broader theology of Christian compassion, Vegangelical calls readers to a greater attentiveness to one of the primary relationships in God's created order, that between humans and animals.

"One person who is vegetarian spares more than one hundred animals from a nightmarish life and death every year."
I really enjoyed reading this book. It wasn't too long to where you got sick of reading it...in fact, the book was quite short. There are a lot of details in this book that are hard to read (about the abuse and things that animals go through), but I think that it's something everyone needs to know about.
All in all, Vegangelical was a unique read that I found interesting. I'm glad I read it and do recommend it.

A great new look at our relationship and ability to care for animals. The mix of faith into our need to provide a safe world for animals was interesting. I enjoyed reading her thoughts on how we can obtain this.

The first part of the book details the author theological beliefs, which I found helpful so I could see where we felt the same and where we differed. The second part is more about animal suffering and why she went vegan. I think this was great little book to help explain why Veganism isn't something Christians can't be and I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about this issue.
