What does a spirituality that affirms God 's love for all creatures look like? Borrowing from a breadth of sources, including the Bible and Christian monks, mystics, sages, and saints, Annika Spalde and Pelle Strindlund show that God 's compassion is the core Christian message. Perhaps the book 's most compelling argument resides in Spalde 's and Strindlund 's own activism. They have frequently exchanged imprisonment for an opportunity to inform the public about the tragic plight of animals on modern factory farms. On several occasions, they and their companions have openly liberated animals raiding factory farms and transferring animals to safe homes and then accepting the legal consequences of what the law regards as theft. This book aims inform, inspire, and challenge a broad range of readers, from those dedicated to animal protectionism to those who have not yet made the connection between loving animals and choosing not to eat them.
