Book Theorizes There Is An Afterlife For All The Creatures Of Earth
By Tiffany Di Giacinto
"Do animals go to heaven? This question troubles us. Who do we go to for the answers? The veterinarian specializes in the health of our pet. The minister's area of expertise is focused on people. Is this an animal question? No, it's a spiritual question. It just fell through the cracks," she said.
Using Bible commentaries by Matthew Henry, John Calvin and John Wesley, interlinear Bibles and Strong's Concordance, Shanahan researched the original Greek and Hebrew words and their translations in the King James Version of the Bible.
What the Tyngsborough, MA, resident said she found is "proof" there's a heaven for kitties and pups, and she uses passages from the Old and New Testaments to "prove" it in her self-published book, "There Is Eternal Life For Animals."
"Yes, there is a heaven for animals. Yes, it is the same place. There are references to animals in heaven -- the same heaven that people go to," Shanahan said.
