A mine of spiritual nourishment
I have read this book a number of times and with each reading I identify with a different part of Much-Afraid's journey.She sets off on a journey to the High Places with The Shepherd, accompanied by two companions to help her, Sorrow and Suffering. Along the way she is assaulted and waylaid by her relatives who are determined to try and prevent her from reaching the High Places - Self Pity, Pride, Resentment, Bitterness, Craven Fear... But she also has The Shepherd to call upon to aid her.This journey of growth and transformation is inspiring, deeply spiritual, uplifting and nourishing.I am not sure about the drawings in this illustrated edition, I was hoping for something that "spoke" to me in the same way the words did. They will appeal to a younger demographic.To quote the blurb at the start of this edition:There are no obstacles which our Savior’s love cannot overcome. The High Places of victory and union with Christ can be reached by learning to accept, day by day, the actual conditions and tests permitted by God, by laying down of our own will and accepting His. The lessons of accepting and triumphing over evil, of becoming acquainted with grief, and pain, and of finding them transformed into something incomparably precious; these are the lessons of the allegory in this book.The Lord God maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon mine High Places. Psalm 18:33 and Habakkuk 3:19I love reading this book and hope that more people will get the same enjoyment and spiritual fulfilment that I do on each reading.Highly recommended😊

Challenging and comforting
I found this quite a tough hard read in places as I've struggled with suffering in my own life but reading about her transformation was amazing and also her trust in the shepherd.

An all time classic as relevant now as when written
The story is a wonderful allegory of the journey of transformation of experience in the hands of the chief shepherd. Woven through the narrative is the Bible's love song, the song of songs. Excellent
