READER COMMENTS

This is an insightful and significant book that I truly recommend.  It will reveal not only another aspect of the other animals in our One family, but also a different view of ourselves.  I have to ask however, how can humanity -- as a whole -- connect with, and treat well, the rest of the animal kingdom when we are disconnected from, and treat appallingly, oiur own selves and humanity?  Now, there's a question!    Michael J.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to walk a mile in the shoes of all the creatures with whom we share this planet, and the disastrous effects our modern worldview has had on them, then you’ll want to read The Question: What Happened to the Animal-Human Spiritual Connection? Judy Hensel takes us on a sacred journey through creaturehood’s recent experiences with humanity, and inspires a new way in which to heal and reinvigorate our ancient spiritual connection with them.  Paul M. Helfrich, author Seth: the Ultimate Guide

I cried when I read the intro on the side of the cover of The Question to Ella Bittel (Spirits in Transition) and another friend this morning.  Whew. Thanks so much for sending… I commented (about it) on PrimeTime to Jane Fonda and got a message back from her… said it’s great too.  Much love and light and deep appreciation.

  It is very unusual for me to read an entire book when someone sends it to me for a testimonial or review. I usually pick out passages to get the gist. However, I enjoyed reading “The Question.” Your book  was very compelling, interesting, and well-written. I loved the whole scenario of Sanctuary: the visual, the energetic changes, the characters.   Penelope Smith, Anima Mundi Incorporated. (Personified in the QUESTION as THE COMMUNICATOR.)

GIVING VOICE TO THE ANIMALS.  The author challenged me - and archetypal leaders through the ages - to look at her dilemma with "beginners mind."  Her visual artistry comes through in a fantastical story nicely shored up by intensive research. As a result, I have a new understanding of the damage done by our long-held belief that humans have absolute dominion over the animals. The voices she gives to Dog, Wolf, Pig and the others affected me more than any strictly "intellectual" argument could have.   A. Guisto, poet, Chicago.                                                                                

An “aha moment” crept up on me midway through the book, as animals are personified and great human thinkers are trivialized. You must discover the contentment resulting from learning that the human animal is indeed ONE with the animal world. This realization must be shouted from the highest mountain; we must elevate our reverence for the animal world and every spirit within! A sustainable planet depends upon it.                               Jim K.  Stuart, FL 

 … While answering "the question" the author presented many other conflicts to think about. Humans are so good at rationalizing beliefs, and behavior. My personal spiritual connection to the "other animals" is deep. I'm one human, connected. The book reminded me, though, that I could be doing more to influence a greater connection by others. We are one."        North Carolina

"The Question" .... answered beautifully!  The animals come alive for the reader and offer a beautiful answer for us to consider -- that humans and animals live on this planet together.  We must embrace that wonderful relationship.

Thank you for reminding me how my spiritual life is unmistakably enhanced by the animals around me AND reminding me of the animal in me.   Emelia W. Boulder CO

I just finished reading your book. You have done a remarkable job in getting your message out there in a way that is thoughtful, intelligent and provoking. These are very difficult topics to broach, but you have managed to combine a rational presentation of facts with an entertaining story and touches of humor. No one who reads your words can be unaffected. There is so much to process! Your ideas will linger and, for those who are conscious and ready, offer a more expansive view of who we are and our place in the oneness of which we are all a part.  You have persevered on this path that you believe so passionately must be followed.  Congratulations!                                                              Dorothy J.
