"Beautifully written, touching and profound, this book makes
reasonable what we already sense--that our dogs love in a way that
goes much deeper than we think, and that teaches us something about
what it means to be human. The Grace of Dogs, written by one of my
favorite contemporary theologians, is perfect for dog lovers and
those who love them. It will open your eyes to what's really going
on between us and our canine family members."
-Nadia Bolz-Weber, author of Accidental Saints "Like all the best
writing (and theology), The Grace of Dogs comes from deep in the
author's personal experience. It will make you smile, shed a tear,
and nod in recognition. You'll find yourself reflecting on the most
wonderful things in life... from the sincerity of a child to the
wag of a black lab's tail, from the grace of dogs to the grace of
God."
-Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration
