One of the most common spiritual questions that people have today

Ask the average Christian, “Will I see my dog in heaven?� and you will most often hear a resounding “Yes!� But ask most clergy and religious leaders the same question—and you’ll hear a lot of uncertainty, ambiguity, or silence.

Jack Wintz aims to change all of that. A popular writer and friar, Father Jack brings a Franciscan love for all of creation to the task of answering questions about the future, after death, of our animal loved ones.

In Will I See My Little Dog in Heaven, Wintz offers many reasons why he believes the whole family of creation is included in God’s plan of salvation. He is the first to admit that no one really knows in detail what God has in mind for us in the next life, but in ten thoughtful chapters, he lines up a good body of evidence from the Scriptures, from Christian tradition and liturgy, and from the life of St. Francis of Assisi that God desires all creatures (and not only humans) to be included in the great plan of salvation.
