All Creatures e-bog

Is it possible to learn valuable lessons about faith, family, and friendship through daily interactions with animals?   Sharing life with a pet of any kind can have such a profound effect on your worldview, both globally and personally. Because there is so much to learn during our brief stint on this earth, we are best served when we allow ourselves to be schooled by even the unlikeliest of professors.   If you have ever known the unconditional love of an animal, you will undoubtedly relate to the experiences recounted in All Creatures. Within these pages you will find a variety of stories that are sure to bring tears of both sorrow and joy.   “What if our relationship with God was such that we experienced an ache inside, a true yearning to be with him? What if we couldn’t wait for the next time we would get to share a moment with him? I don’t know about you, but I want my desire for communion with my Father to become an unquenchable thirst. I want to long for it with breathlessly intense eagerness, just as the dogs pant for bowls of cool water after a long day in the heat of a summer sun. I want to be refreshed, not by what the world has to offer, but by what God alone can give.” —from All Creatures
