Book Review: "God of all Creation"

I found James Robison's "God of all Creation" to be incredibly disappointing. What should have been a beautiful read about the power of God's creations strengthening relationships between humankind and God turned into a clear display of inferiority towards anything not human. The author made note several times that humans are superior to the rest of God's creation, causing me to believe the author never truly understood the messages God was instilling in him through different animals.

I believe animals are closer to God than we can ever hope to be, and that adopting their way of living can assist in creating a new and more improved relationship with the Lord. I find myself challenging the integrity of the author's messages as he clearly missed them himself. We are not above the rest of God's creations. In fact, we might very well be the inferior ones.

The book itself was misleading. A self-proclaimed messaged of God's love through pets was more of a focus of forced biblical passages. I found most of the stories of the animals to be incredibly weak, and some even manipulated to make a suspicious comment. I do not think I can recommend this book to anybody. If you want to learn about God's love through animals, spend some time with them. Play with a puppy. Hang out with a cat. Ride a horse. You'll get so much more out of those experiences than you will by reading this book.

Please note that I received "God of all Creation" for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review.
