Hinds' Feet on High Places

LOVE this book, since I was a child and a very sweet lady used to read it to me, whenever I would go over to her house. So, I bought one for my daughter and this one for my daughter's teacher, in case she wanted to use it for her class. Such a great book for gaining understanding so many things that God does (or allows to happen) and why He has bigger plans sometimes than we can fathom.

Love this so much. Journal. I am adding Biblical things and verses to match with what is written on each page to give to very special people to me. You can use it as a journal or for Biblical note taking too.

This was a little pricey, but a wonderful resource in addition to the allegorical book “Hinds Feet on High Places”.It would be a great addition to a small group bible study and worth the price.

Excellent companion to the book or to use alone.

This is a beautiful journal that serves as a companion and expansion to the classic Hinds' Feet on High Places.

I first heard of this book in the 1990s, and only recently got around to reading it. It’s considered a Christian classic, an allegory.The timid little shepherdess Much-Afraid lives in the Valley of Humiliation, but she longs to follow the Chief Shepherd up to the high places. She asks for and receives a seed of love in her heart. She’s held back by her crippled feet, but the Shepherd promises if she follows him, he’ll give her feet like the little deer who leap along the narrow mountain trails. He gives her two companions for her journey, Sorrow and Suffering, who will help her on her way. And if she needs him, she only need call to him, and he will come to her.Her relatives, with names like Craven Fear and Coward and Gloomy, all try to dissuade Much-Afraid from going. They claim the Chief Shepherd will abandon her and break his promises, and she’ll be much worse off if she trusts him. But she persists.The way is long and difficult, and Much-Afraid experiences many detours and setbacks and comes close to giving up many times. But the Chief Shepherd keeps his promise to come when she calls, and even though she struggles with doubt, she continues along the way.When she finally arrives at the High Places, they exceed her expectations with their transcendent beauty, and she finally embodies full-grown love in her heart. As she looks down into the valley from the high places, she remembers all the miserable people down there whom she once feared and hated, but now she feels true concern for them and longs to go back down and help them ascend to the high places as well.It’s not a quick read, and I was put off by the names of the characters. But the story grew on me, and I saw how, really, all of us are on a long journey with lots of frustrations and dead ends. Do we give up? Do we believe the Chief Shepherd? Do we want to experience true love, or do we want the easy shortcut? It gave me lots to think about, and gave me hope for my own journey.
