 A good book, how's it compare with the others she has written? July 11, 2008
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
I decided for my review to include a little about this author's other 3 books (as of the time I am writing this) as they are all somewhat related and if you have just lost a pet you may be trying to decide which of them to buy. At almost $14 a piece, to buy all of them will run you over $50 which is quite a lot of money (particularly if like many of us, you are struggling in this poor economy). So since this book has been pretty well-reviewed already, I will focus more on comparing it with the other 3 to help you decide which to get.
This is probably my favorite of the four, and if you really want a full, in-depth discussion of animals and scripture, this is the one to get. This is definitely a book intended for Christians that already believe in Jesus and the Bible as an authoritative source, but even if you aren't you may enjoy the information in here. The book is very easy to read and covers the material better than a couple others I read on the subject. It definitely would be a comfort to someone who has lost a pet and struggling with thoughts of them being gone forever. My only real beef with it is the high price, $14 for a small paperback of this size really is a tad excessive. But worth it? I'd say yes.
Her next book, Animal Prayer Guide is one that any pet lover that is a Christian may enjoy. I had some mixed feelings about this book. It has a nice introduction to prayer and how it works, and covers a really nice range of animal-related issues and situations. There wasn't as many actual prayers included as I would have liked though, but many scripture passages, some stories, etc. I'm one of those people that really has a lot of trouble putting my emotions into words and had hoped for more "ready-made" prayers from this book. Each subject heading generally has only one prayer included, and the memorial service included is all Bible readings with only a short prayer included at the beginning. Nothing wrong with Bible passages of course, but I just hoped to see more actual prayers, especially for the memorial service. Still, this is the only book of its kind I've even seen and I did enjoy it and found it helpful in adding prayers for pets and animals in my life. If you are looking for a second book to buy, this would be a fine choice.
Niki's book The Rainbow Bridge: Pet Loss Is Heaven's Gain is one is intended to cover a wider range of topics on grief and losing a pet, and does that well. A bit of amount of material from "Eternal Life" is repeated in this one as well as from her prayer book. If you want to get only one book of hers after losing your pet, and don't care about having a really complete discussion of the "life after death" in scriptures, this would be a good choice. It'd make a particularly nice gift for a friend that has lost a pet, or to offer for sale at a crematorium. If you plan to buy "Eternal Life" though and particularly if you also buy the prayer book, you might find that there's not quite enough additional material in here to warrant getting it.
The last book, Who Says Animals Go To Heaven? I found the least useful and interesting to me personally, to warrant the high cost. It's an interesting take on the subject of animal afterlife, but really seems like more of a footnote to "Eternal Life" than one that should be its own book, and probably could have been condensed and included into Eternal Life as an additional chapter or appendix. It basically has quotes from a wide range of religious authorities, ministers, etc. (along with bios on all of them), but there's not much discussion of what they are saying, and without that, I felt it fell a bit flat. Many of them are quotes from many centuries ago (so not particularly easy for everyone to understand the archaic language) and there's a fair amount of repetition as most of them deal with Romans 8:19-23 in particular. If you are looking for a lot of quotes from famous religious figures that really unequivocally state that animals will go to heaven, you may be disappointed with this, you need to read quite a bit between the lines to find those sentiments through much of this. It's an interesting sample though of many different religious figures and it's clear she's put a lot of research into this. I personally didn't get as much out of this book as the others, but if you really like the discussions on scripture in Eternal Life and are interested in further discussion on the topic, you might want to pick this book up as well.
Hope that helps anyone looking for comparisons of these 4 books and trying to decide which to get. Niki has done a fine job in writing all of these and provided a great service to those that have lost a pet and deserves to be applauded for that indeed!

I have known for years that my pets would go to heaven when they died. This is the first book I've ever read on the subject that had so many scriptures to back it up. For anyone who has lost a wonderful companion pet, I recommend this sensitive and compassionate book as a source of knowledge and comfort to help you through the grieving process.
Very inspiring February 17, 2008

This book verified my belief that animals DO go to Heaven. You can't dispute what the Bible says. It's the word of GOD!!

If you need some comfort from your loss and reassurance...Then this is the book for you. Please see the related companion books also. Our family recently lost a pet and this book has been a comfort and help for us.
The author lays out in plain english and easy to understand stories and terms, what happens to pets, just like people, when they pass away.
Using a combination of quotes from scripture, coupled with near death experiences & descriptions, she logically paints a very vivid picture of what happens to our friends when we lose them. Stories from both sources blend well and compliment each other to provide a good description of what awaits our pets.
Contrary to worst case scenarios, their souls actually are fine and waiting to meet us when we pass away.
This book and companion books will offer you comfort and relief, but regardless of your decision to get them, if you are suffering from the loss of your friend, then God Bless you and provide you with comfort.
