Purr-ables from Heaven: Devotions for Cat Lovers

by M.R. Wells, Dottie Adams, Connie Fleishauer

It's a funny relationship between quirky cats and their dedicated owners. A cat begs to be petted, then strides coolly away. Calm one minute, it's tearing up and down stairs and clawing drapes the next. Yet we still adore our cats--perhaps because they're a lot like us. In this delightful book of devotions from the authors of Four Paws from Heaven humorous stories about cats and their people give insight into our own relationships with God. Barney, Misty, Muffin, and a host of other feline friends illustrate how even the most contradictory creature can thrive in the presence of a loving, ever-patient owner. Each entertaining and enlightening tale encourages readers to discover how God draws us to Himself, stimulates our growth, cleanses and refines us, teaches us His ways, and reigns over us for our own good. Perfect for animal lovers everywhere, this unique devotional inspires us to delight in the Lord and lap up His loving presence.

A very good book for cat lovers. There are many stories to relate to.

[Gayle Irwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you enjoy cats, if you are a Christian -- or are considering this as your faith walk -- you need to read this book! An inspiring, sometimes comical, look at how cats impact our lives and our faith journey, the authors' stories will have you chuckling, smiling, crying, thinking and reflecting. A delightful book!

Only reason I gave this book 2 stars was what little their was about cats I enjoyed, The rest of the book was all about religion that I didn't like at all

[Rebekah · Rating 3 out of 5]

In my opinion it wasn't the most amazing collection of devotionals or anything, but it was cute. Cat lovers will enjoy this as I did! Some of the devotions were really comforting, meaningful or funny and that is what made the book worth reading to me. I found a few of the stories a bit cheesy. Overall it was cute and easy, light reading.
