Download or read book Dog Is God Spelled Backwards written by Marcella Bickerstaff and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is always speaking to us, but most of the time we just aren't listening. We either don't discern His voice or we just ignore Him when He does speak. Far too often, He has to use various ways of getting our attention. In my situation, He chose to use what I cherished the most--my dogs--to make me aware of His Love and Goodness. God speaks in the most unusual, extraordinary, and sometimes funny ways. He speaks the loudest during our times of pain and suffering when we need Him the most.Too often, I experienced pain and unnecessary loss because I ignored Him when He spoke. It was during a traumatic event that it finally dawned on me how long He had been trying to get me to tune my antenna to His frequency, which resonated on the wavelength of my heart. There is no static on His frequency, there only was on mine. I finally figured out that by clearing up the static on my channel, I would always receive clear signals from His transmitter and ride upon His wavelength. By obeying and following His instructions, I can experience more joy, instead of pain or loss.The second lesson I learned was to never give up on praying. Praying is the direct channel into God's throne room of grace and mercy, from which He transmits the signals of love that broadcast answered prayers and instructions. It has been through my journey with dogs that He transmitted the most, because they were the bandwidth on my radio receiver that I operated on. He created them, so He can use them in whatever capacity He chooses. They were just one way He chose to show me how much He really loves me. I just needed to listen and then obey Him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clark and his Airedale puppy, Patch, grow up around Lake Erie in a time when every boy loves his dog and everyone knows the rules. Patch at first doesn’t appear to hold the life of her young master in her jaws, but time proves otherwise. Soon grown grand in body and spirit, Patch commands attention wherever she goes and she knows it. Savior, teacher and rescuer to most, some see the brave dog as unruly. She is both; gentle and loving, but reckless in fury when need be and just as likely to snatch dinner tidbits or battle skunks as she is to protect Clark from out-of-control adults and a pack of wild dogs. Their days are filled with fun and adventure, but Patch and Clark also bounce between grace and guilt. Knowing the rules doesn’t always mean compliance, despite the efforts of those around them. They find a corpse on the shores of Lake Erie, suffer the aftermath of the dead fish Patch finds irresistible, play a tragic ball game, keep frightening secrets and adventure about in a lifetime full of uncommon escapades. Explore how the love between a boy and his dog replicates the beauty and bitter sweetness of life, of innocence and adulthood.

Download or read book On God and Dogs written by Stephen H. Webb and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us keep pet animals; we rely on them for companionship and unconditional love. For some people their closest relationships may be with their pets. In the wake of the animal rights movement, some ethicists have started to re-examine this relationship, and to question the rights of humans to "own" other sentient beings in this way. In this engaging and thought-provoking book, Stephen Webb brings a Christian perspective to bear on the subject of our responsibility to animals, looked at through the lens of our relations with pets--especially dogs. Webb argues that the emotional bond with companion animals should play a central role in the way we think about animals in general, and--against the more extreme animal liberationists--defends the intermingling of the human and animal worlds. He tries to imagine what it would be like to treat animals as a gift from God, and indeed argues that not only are animals a gift for us, but they give to us; we need to attend to their giving and return their gifts appropriately. Throughout the book he insists that what Christians call grace is present in our relations with animals just as it is with other humans. Grace is the inclusive and expansive power of God's love to create and sustain relationships of real mutuality and reciprocity, and Webb unfolds the implications of the recognition that animals too participate in God's abundant grace. Webb's thesis affirms and persuasively defends many of the things that pet lovers feel instinctively--that their relationships with their companion animals are meaningful and important, and that their pets have value and worth in themselves in the eyes of God. His book will appeal to a broad audience of thoughtful Christians and animal lovers.
