About the Book

Authors: Michelle Medlock Adams, Wendy Hinote Lanier

Release Date: September 17, 2024

Can Dogs Really Teach Us More About God?
Award-winning authors Michelle Medlock Adams and Wendy Hinote Lanier say yes! That’s why they’ve teamed up to offer Paws-itive Inspirations—a great way to help dog lovers connect with God and learn more about their favorite breeds.
Paws-itive Inspirations will have kids and adults alike digging up treasures about their favorite pups, as well as discovering new breeds and learning important biblical truths in every devotion. Each Fido-themed entry encourages readers to dig deeper into God’s Word as they uncover fascinating facts about our canine friends. The 90 devotions cover different dog breeds and include:
Unleashing the Truth (key Bible verses)
Digging Deeper (self-reflection questions)
Fido 411 (interesting tidbits about the breed)
Weekly Tail-Waggers (activities to reinforce each lesson)

EXCERPT:
It’s a sad fact: people can sometimes hurt us or let us down. That’s just part of being human. Everybody makes mistakes. The great thing is that God never makes a mistake. He never hurts us, and He never lets us down. He always keeps His promises. We can trust Him. He loves us with an everlasting love. And He is always there for us. His faithfulness never ends.
Unleash the Truth: “Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.” (Psalm 36:5)
Digging Deeper: Have you ever felt like someone let you down?
Fido 411: In 1937 Helen Keller learned the story of the famous Hachiko. She was so impressed she brought the first Akita to the United States.5
Weekly Tail-Waggers: Take time this week to look up the following scriptures: Psalm 57:10; Psalm 86:15; Psalm 91:4; Psalm 100:5; Psalm 119:30; Isaiah 25:1; and Lamentations 3:23. Read them and think about what they mean. God is faithful!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
An engaging, heartwarming collection of uplifting devotions for children and adults . . .
These two gifted authors have created a powerful reference book for individuals of all ages to use in their daily devotional time. The devotions are divided by breed of dog. Basic information about the breed and their origin and behaviors is included along with an 'Unleash the Truth' section comprised of an applicable scripture. The 'Fido 411' section gives an interesting example of a dog or an historical event involving the breed.
Readers are encouraged to participate in the 'Digging Deeper' and 'Weekly Tail-Waggers' activities included in each devotion. The 'Digging Deeper' section asks the reader a question relating to the theme of the devotion ("What kinds of things do you worry about?" pg. 91). The 'Weekly Tail-Waggers' section gives readers a task to perform relating to the theme of the devotion.
Another element of this book I found to be valuable for youngsters and adults, is the suggestion that they keep a personal journal to write down their thoughts, feelings, etc. Journaling is an effective way to stay in touch with one's feelings and to gauge progress on a goal.
Because the theme of the book is targeted at dog lovers, this content will be very appealing to children. I can envision this collection becoming a family-time devotional for years to come. The book is completely clean and age-appropriate in content and language.
I received a copy of this book from the
publisher through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my thoughts and opinions
shared here are solely my own.
