Spend a few moments a day with God, reflecting upon faith lessons taught by our canine companions. Each topical devotion features a correlating Scripture, a dog story, Biblical application to the story and topic, and life application for the reader as well as a concluding prayer. We'll journey through thankfulness, joy, love, faithfulness, grief, acceptance, and other pathways, reflecting upon what God has to say to us through the adventures of the author's own dogs as well as others. These short 30-day reflections are a great way for you to relate your Christian faith to your love for dogs!
