Hinds' Feet on High Places: The Original and Complete Allegory with a Devotional for Women

This allegory is a cheap attempt to put a new-age spin on Bunyan's classic, The Pilgrim's Progress. Skip this rubbish and look for a modern edition of Bunyan's.

This book will deeply resonate with any true believer. It is comforting and inspiring. I highly recommend it.

I love the allegorical side of this book. It is truly an eye opener when you trust God's Timing even when we don't see the end result.

This was given to me many years ago by a friend during a very trying time of my life. It has meant a lot to me.

A great way of writing and using feelings as characters and common situations to project a beautiful journey.

I used to try to read this book once a year. It is an allegory, so if you're looking for something a little different, yet inspirational, this is a book you might like. There is much symbolism, the character faces many difficult challenges, and learns interesting, often powerful lessons along the way. I had sort of forgotten about it until I saw it here. Love this book!

I consider It a wonderful book, It made me to grow spiritually.

This is an excellent book for someone who is dealing with fears. It also is an excellent book for learning to trust and lean upon God. It will challenge you to look at your own real-life situation and see where you are falling short! I recommend this book for the fearful and those who have difficulty trusting in God!

Beautiful allegory. Inspiring. I enjoy giving it as a gift for any occassion. Read it many times over. Timeless classic. You can not go wrong with it.

I first read this book in college and have introduced it to many, read the children's edition (BEAUTIFUL illustrations - a good devotional book) to my children and since read the complete version to them. I cannot think of a more powerful allegory illustrating the Christian life. Though most people are familiar with Pilgrim's Progress, in my opinion, this book if even better.The story is about a girl named "Much-Afraid" who lives in the "Valley of Humiliation". She has a crooked mouth and crooked feet. Though she belongs to the "Fearings" family, she loves the Shepherd with all of her heart and desires to be in His service. She longs to have "hind's feet" and "leap upon the high places" with Him. (see the Psalms for the quote) He tells her that she may have her request, but first He must place the seed of love in her heart - it looks like a thorn.Her family has planned for her to marry her cousin, "Craven Fear", but "Much-Afraid" doesn't want to and her only way out is to go with the Shepherd. To reach the High Places, the Shepherd gives "Much-Afraid" two unique companions to help her along the way. They are companions of every Christian who walks the pathway to follow Christ. You must read the book to find out who they are, but be ready for a surprise!I love this book because it doesn't gloss over what our lives as Christians are like, the challenges we face, and a Biblical account of how we are to proceed - that following Christ means dying to self to live for Him. This is one of the most beautifully written accounts I have ever read.Get a copy and read it. It will become one of your most treasured possessions. Then read the sequel, "Mountain of Spices" where "Much-Afraid", who has been given a new name, returns to the valley to show the love of the Shepherd to her family and friends. TERIFFIC BOOKS!

This book has really blessed me inward and outward. I no longer see myself as I did prior to reading this book. I allow God through the Holy Spirit to lead me to the High Places. Now I have my 10 year old daughter reading the booking and she is getting blessed by it as well.
