At the Master's Side: 365 Meditations for Dog-Lovers - Paperback

by Stephen Poxon (Author)

An illustrated years' worth of dog stories with reflections on aspects of God's character, together with verses of Scripture to encourage, inform and possibly even amuse.

It might be that a line from a reflection will lead you towards a deeper concept. It might be that a thought provides a timely contemplation for the day, relevant to your circumstances and concerns. Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows that their company enhances your life. Anyone who has walked day by day in the company of the Almighty knows that His presence transforms your life.

Stephen Poxon combines these truths, reflecting day by day on how the dogs he has known speak to him of some aspect of God's nature. A walk with a dog can easily become a walk with your God too. As a dog devotee who tries to follow God these readings bring reminders of His love. As the seasons change and experiences vary between good, bad and indifferent, our relationship with a loving Heavenly Father remains a rewarding constant.
