The Christian allegory, such as the classic PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, is a story
that characterizes the Christian walk of faith described in the Bible.
Restricted to a single meaning, the allegory features Christian virtues
and sins as symbolic characters who have no real personal qualities beyond
the abstractions they represent. In Hurnard's allegory, Flo Schmidt
narrates the story of characters named Much Afraid, Sorrow, and Suffering
as they journey to the High Places, where their weaknesses will be turned
into strengths and their fears into faith. The Shepherd who leads them is
characterized with a kind, gentle voice filled with love and hope. The
personalities of Craven Fear, Pride, and Selfishness, who act as
antagonists, are depicted with sharp, cutting tones. The testing of each
character during the journey is realistic, and tones of joy ring out as
Much Afraid and her companions gather memorial stones to mark their
progress.

Mountains of Spices
Amazon reader review: This
sequel to Hind's Feet On High Places tells the story of how Grace
and Glory (formally Much-Afraid) and her friends lead many of her
enemies to follow the Chief Shepherd. Not all decide to follow, but
those who do so find a release from their old, sinful self and
receive a new nature from the Shepherd (like how Grace and Glory
did). How wonderful to see the Shepherd give new names to replace
their old ones. See how the Shepherd is able to develop Hind's Feet
for those who cannot physically journey with Him to the High Places.
Learn also about the nature of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. I read
this book with the same inner joy and excitement when I read Hind's
Feet. Before I read this book, I was hoping for a sequel to Hind's
Feet when God answered my prayer. This books shows that when we
surrender our fruits of the flesh to God, He will replace it with
His own wonderful fruits of the Spirit. When we live a life loving
the Lord, it will draw people to the Savior and God can make us
forgive and love our enemies.

God's Transmitters
Amazon reader review: God's
Transmitters, by Hannah Hurnard, is full of spiritual truths and
practical applications of faith and love. It addresses the common
problem of a dull prayer life and gets down to the nitty gritty
thoughts that hinder our prayers. It's more than just a prayer guide
because it deals with human nature and surrendering to God's will.

Winged Life
Amazon reader review:
This book is a "must" read book. It's
very inspirational. Truly god wants his children to have "winged
life" and soar above our earthly trials. I must say it's by far the
best devotional book i have ever read. Ms. Hurnard is amazing and
god is glorified through her book!

Kingdom of Love
Amazon reader review: The very
questions that nag at any Christian who has tried to walk as Jesus
walked are faced in this wonderful small book. How can I love? How
can I love people who I know are not perfect, not even good--how
can I overlook their faults? How can I love without being a total
hypocrite, or without being mindless? How can I pray for people in
love? How can I be transformed? Will I have to wait till I die to
be perfected in love? (see I John 4, 12 and 17--love HAS BEEN
perfected in us!) Hannah Hurnard opens her heart and tells us that
she struggled long and hard with these questions, and that she
refused to accept the easy answers that leave so many of us
feeling powerless, guilty, and half-alive. And she speaks
plainly--no "reckoning", no "words of faith" that seem to just
refuse to face reality. She has given me great hope. Brothers and
sisters--we need this power to love! Let us not settle for
anything less than all that God has promised us!

Hearing Heart
Amazon reader review: I was given
this book when I told my daughter that I wanted to hear God and talk
with Him the way I was talking to her. This book taught me how to
have such an intimate relationship with Him, and about how to lay
everything down and completely trust Him for every moment of my
life. I highly recommend this book!
