BOOK REVIEW - "31 SPIRITUAL LESSONS I LEARNED FROM MY DOG" BY RAYLENE KING


Are you in the market for a devotional that will challenge and inspire you, and be fun and entertaining at the same time? This book is one you'll enjoy.

This is a collection written by a pastor's wife and is focused on their interactions with their dachshund Cosmo. Behind each story, there's a spiritual lesson: sometimes, we take the role of Raylene and Dennis as they try to adjust to and train a lively little dog, and sometimes in the role of Cosmo, comparing his interactions with his human masters with our relationship to our Divine and heavenly Master.

Each 1-3 page devotional starts with a Cosmo story, and moves to the practical application in our lives, reinforced with a few Scripture references and concluding with a prayer. After each devotional, there's a one page "Paws for reflection," autographed with Cosmo's pawprints.

I'm putting this book on my devotional rotation list, so I can benefit from it again.

By the way, Dennis and Raylene are among Becky's and my closest friends, and we were very familiar with Cosmo and his successor Duncan. Dennis also is brother of Claude King, who is a discipleship specialist.
