God Lessons as Taught to Me by My Dog - Paperback

by Beverly Portis (Author)

As a first-time pet owner, I never knew how much joy, along with companionship, my adorable, entertaining, loyal, and loving little doggie could bring to my life. And I certainly never entertained the notion that after decades of seeking God and trying to understand his scriptures, a precious addition in my life would teach me some of the most fundamental principles of God's love for me. God Lessons: As Taught to Me by My Dog is my account of the fun, and at times humorous, journey of Snoopy Snu Snu and me and the invaluable spiritual epiphanies revealed during our time together. If the mysteries of God and the complexities, as well as turnoffs of religion, are blocking your path to a more intimate relationship with God, follow the walk of my doggie and me and discover and embrace the simplicity of God's abounding love and mercy.
