DISCOVER what the Bible has to say about humans and the history of hunting. AVOID using groundless arguments when expressing your personal views on hunting. LEARN how nature as we know it will one day be changed. . . . AND MUCH MORE! This unique book written by a former poacher contains ten arguments (five pro-hunting and five anti-hunting) which are frequently used to either defend or condemn hunting.  These arguments are addressed from a biblical perspective and shown to be either entirely false or, at minimal, less than accurate.  Chapter titles include:         God Made Animals for Us to Eat     Thou Shalt Not Kill!     I Eat Everything I Kill     I Could Never Kill an Animal   Hunting Helps Our Economy   Animals Are People Too!   I Enjoy Hunting     Hunting Causes Animals Unnecessary Suffering     Hunting Is My Right as an American!     Jesus Was a Vegetarian In addition to the hunting arguments readers are treated to a creative essay titled "Would Jesus Shoot Bambi? " which answers a hypothetical question posed to Dr. Rakow during a live radio broadcast.     Self-Inflicted Hunting Arguments : Biblical Responses to a Loaded Issue also contains a fun and informative questionnaire.  Each reader can privately measure their own attitudes and thought transformation regarding various hunting-related issues!   - SOME EARLY REVIEWS - "Tom Rakow knows hunting issues - and, he knows the Bible.  One of the keys to understanding and responding to the many challenging issues of our culture is to grasp the importance of a biblical worldview.  The biblical lens is the how you choose not the what you choose.  It is one of the most fundamental dynamics for the operational side of Christian life.  As Tom has so skillfully shown, it makes a big difference in the way you look at hunting, fishing, creation and even the way you watch Bambi.  He is right on target!" - Dr. Kent Hunter (also known as The Church Doctor ) is a national and international church growth expert, broadcaster, and writer. One of his most recent books is titled, Discover Your Windows: Lining Up With God's Vision ________________ "WARNING!  If reading this book does not reshape your thoughts on fishing and hunting, you are not interested in the truth.  This is true for both sides of the animal rights argument, from sportsmen to those who are vehemently opposed to any use of animals to benefit man.  Dr. Tom Rakow walks readers through the falsehood of emotion versus sound science and wildlife management plus introducing the greatest authority on animals and man's relationship toward them, God Himself, and His word, the Bible.  A must read for every outdoorsman or any person, for that matter, who wishes to wade wisely between the facts and fables of this hotly contested issue." - Gerry Caillouet, author of Hunting Blunders and The One That Got Away! and national host of God's Great Outdoors Radio Program . _______________ "Through debunking false arguments, Dr. Rakow provides readers with a sound Biblical theology of hunting. Christian and non-Christian hunters alike would do well to reflect on principles of ethical hunting contained herein. Christian anti-hunters will have their work cut out for them to refute the arguments in this book." - Stephen Vantassel, graduate of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and current Ph.D. Student, is a nationally-known and published animal damage control expert.  He is owner and operator of  Wildlife Damage Control .   ________________ "...If you want to read a 152 page enjoyable and informative book that really makes you think...THEN ORDER A COPY FROM Rock Dove Publications today....Thank you Dr. Tom for a GREAT book!" - Adam Doro, Founder and Publisher of  Rub-lines magazine. ________________ "Whether a die-hard hunter, a citizen concerned for animal welfare, or someone undecided on the issue, Self-Inflicted is worth the read if you are concerned about whether or not your stance on such issues will compromise your Christianity." - Kathryn Lively is the author of EPPIE Award nominee Little Flowers and more recently the romantic mystery Saints Preserve Us . ________________ "Dr. Tom C. Rakow, has...written an amazing book." - Caara Holmstrom (also known as The Cougar Lady) - Educator, seminar speaker, and co-owner of a popular animal park.
