About the author

Hanna Hurnard was a twentieth century Christian author, best known for her allegory Hinds' Feet on High Places.
Hurnard was born in 1905 in Colchester, England to Quaker parents. She graduated from Ridgelands Bible College of Great Britain in 1926. In 1932 she became an independent missionary, moving to Haifa, Israel. Her work in Israel lasted 50 years, although she would later maintain a home in England as well.
Hurnard's early writings (especially Hinds' Feet on High Places and the sequel Mountain of Spices) were embraced by the mainstream Christian community, but later on in her life she seems to have departed from orthodoxy.

Reviews

Another excellent Journey- part 2 to Hinds Feet.....

[Saphraneet · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the author's other two allegories, but this one not as much. I was not sure what she meant by some of the things in the story.

[Robert Smith · Rating 1 out of 5]

Shocked by how far she departed from Christian orthodoxy. The literary quality is also greatly inferior to "Hind's Feet".

[Abigail G · Rating 3 out of 5]

While this follows the story pattern of the previous books there are parts of the story where it can be confusing to know which doctrines are beneficial and which ones are unhealthy in Christian life.
